Mardi Gras Costumes

Mardi Gras (Užgavėnės) masks and costumes – the heart of this Lithuanian Shrovetide carnival: the scarier the mask, the better it drives winter away. The traditional characters – devils, witches, gypsies, goats, cranes and other beasts – have long roamed from yard to yard, making noise and asking for pancakes.

In this category you’ll find everything Mardi Gras mummers need: from frightening faces to cheerful village characters. Whether you’re celebrating in the yard, at school or at a community event – pick the right face in the face masks category and chase winter out of the yard.
