Halloween in Bulgaria

[align=center:3mrdzn6p][/align:3mrdzn6p]

How are you going to celebrate Halloween in Bulgaria? I'm not even sure that the Bulgarians do?

Am I the only one in the UK that dislikes Halloween?
I'm not against children having fun, and always have sweets at the ready.
I just hate all the Americanised commercialism! :Hair:

Yes Bulgarians do celebrate Halloween but not in the exact same way as is in the UK its played down a little I believe, but they still have parties and merriment

bullgarians celebrate st eno (men), they wear big masks to scare the ghosts away. ive not made it up, theres two bulgarian tilers in my house, so i asked them.

I think that the Bulgarians do celebrate Halloween but not as much as the UK or the USA, I think its more of a good p**sup for the younger generation ? I could be wrong but I can't recall seeing anything like what goes on in the UK

US Peace Corps volunteers organised a "
haunted house"
in Bulgaria’s ancient capital of Veliko Turnovo, Bulgarian National Television reported on October 30 2010.
The aim was for local children from kindergartens and schools to experience the atmosphere of Halloween, which a Peace Corps volunteer from Florida, Jesse Rufis (name may be misspelt) described as a "
great American tradition in which we all put on different costumes"
.

Preparations began some months ago, to come up with Halloween costumes. A participant in the event, Radoslav Radoslavov, was quoted by BNT as saying "
my role was, when they walk through the door, to jump out of a coffin and scare them. I was dressed up as Dracula"
.
Children were under adult supervision, the report said, and would go home with many "
treats"
