In today's festival, groups of kurents wear traditional sheepskin garments, boar fangs, leather tongues, holding wooden clubs with prickly hedgehog skins,
Around the waist they are wearing huge cow bells, the noise of which is believed to "chase away winter".
In this way, the presence of kurenti announces the end of winter and beginning of spring.
Being a kurent was at first a privilege offered only to unmarried men, but today, married men, children and women are also invited to wear the outfit.
