The parade of chimneysweeps will be held on July 27, 2016 in the city of Mukachevo in Transcarpathia. The head of Mukachevo tourist information center Maksim Adamenko informed on his Facebook page that the event is dedicated to the birthday of the living legend of the city – chimneysweep Bertalon Tovt. The event will be open to all comers. You just need to come up with a costume of a chimneysweep and join the procession in the city center.
B.Tovt, or Berti-bacsi, has been doing chimney sweep in Mukachevo since 1973. In 2010, a monument to him was erected on the main street of the town and it became the hallmark of Mukachevo. The highlight of the event will be the participation of brides in the parade. "In Britain, there is a tradition to invite chimneysweeps to weddings. Couples entering into marriage rub a chimneysweep’s button for good luck – a kind of a good omen. So we decided to invite brides to the holiday. Everyone will be able to make a wish standing between two chimneysweeps – the monument and the real Bertalon Tovt" – Maks Adamenko wrote. The parade of chimneysweeps, which will be held in the city for the first time, according to the organizers, is intended to become an annual event for tourists and residents of Mukachevo.
