DESCRIPTION:

If you're wandering around any city in Romania on December 30, you'll see a lot of bears! Romanian tradition goes back centuries when local legends believed misfortune was avoided through the appearance of wild animals. The belief translated into people dressing as dancing bears and visiting neighbors to share good luck for the new year.

Bukarest holds the largest Bear Festival, with thousands of people dressed in 100-pound bear suits marching through the streets with red tassels on their backs. The bear skins are real, often handed down from generation to generation. Additional costumes include dressing in adorned former soviet era military uniforms and marching in a parade.
