For the fourth year in a row, the town of Tran in Western Bulgaria will host a winter festival of masquerade games. The beginning will be set on February 3 from 12:00 to 14:00 in the central town square.

The organizers of the festival are the Municipality of Tran and the Tran Community Center "Gyurga Pindzhurova-1895". According to them, the festival aims to present the emotion of the most mystical and colorful Bulgarian customs and traditions, handed down from generation to generation.
