This year’s parade, founded in 2016, was International. The holiday, which took place on Friday, July 27, was attended by representatives of the chimney-sweep guilds of Hungary and Estonia. 11 professional chimney-sweeps and guests dressed as chimney-sweeps took part in it.
The occasion for the fun holiday is the birthday of the living symbol of the city and the prototype of the monument to Chimney-sweep on the central square – Bertalon Tovt, Bertie Bacsi, who has been cleaning chimneys in the buildings of Mukachevo and the district for half the century. Nowadays the profession of chimney-sweep is almost relic, but it is no less needed and respected. Thus, the profession of the chimney-sweep and personally the main chimney-sweep are honored with a fun costume procession in the city center, with orchestra and good mood.
Bertalon Tovt celebrated the 69th birthday. The next year, on the anniversary, the holiday is going to be even larger with more guests and entertainments. The parade of chimney-sweeps in Mukachevo has already become a tradition and is gaining the status of an original city holiday with its own flavour.
