group of people dressed in traditional Bulgarian kukeri costumes performing a ritual in a town square. The kukeri are wearing ornate masks and animal skins, and they are carrying bells and other noise-making instruments. They are dancing and making loud noises to scare away evil spirits. A man in a black suit and brown shoes kicks a wooden block into the air. There are several people watching the performance, including a group of people standing near a tent and some other people standing near the building in the background. The sky is cloudy, and the buildings are gray.
