A reveler wearing a bearskin costume poses during the Bearskin Parade in Comanesti, Romania, on December 30, 2022. More than 200 “bears” and dozens of musicians, surrounded by police and tourists, took part in the year-end event. Young men and women dressed in real bearskin and traditional costumes paraded to chase away the evil spirits of the coming year.
