<holidayfyi-glossary slug="masked-festival"></holidayfyi-glossary>A celebration in which participants wear masks or costumes, often to represent spirits, ancestors, deities, or stock characters. Masked festivals include Venice Carnival, Halloween trick-or-treating, the Venetian Bauta, West African masquerade traditions, and Japan's Oni festival. Masks create a liminal space between the everyday world and realms of the sacred, supernatural, or theatrical.
