I only saw one of the gatherings this year and the folks were without their uniforms. But they were as noisy as always. I’m sure the evil spirits ran away.

Blagoevgrad, the city has a very strong Kukeri community and they walk around with their bells every time there’s a holiday.

Hell no! Kukeri are all about making noise and looking scary so that the evil spirit run. They’re likely successful. I’ve not seen any evil spirits.
