Goal of the Activity

To introduce students to unique cultural traditions from around the world and foster appreciation for diverse customs through engaging, hands-on experiences.

Description

“Oddly Specific Night” is a fun cultural event focusing on the fascinating Hungarian tradition of Busójárás — a lively festival known for its carved wooden masks, costumes, and celebration of the end of winter. During the event, participants  enjoyed an informative presentation about the history and meaning of Busójárás, learning how it blends folklore, community spirit, and creativity. Afterward, they had the chance to explore the tradition firsthand by trying on authentic Busó masks and taking photos. The evening combines learning and laughter, offering a memorable glimpse into Hungarian culture.
