There are no age restrictions for participation in the festival so that both the youngest lovers of Bulgarian folklore and the masters can participate. The festival is organized in the form of a contest. The first day of the event the participants will be welcomed, and at the cocktail meeting, they will deliver the music for their performances to the jury.

On Oct. 14 there is the actual playoff. If the weather throughout the day is sunny then the festival will be held at the Sandanski Summer Theater and if the weather is bad – in the big hall of the House of Culture in the town. The shows will begin at 10 a.m., with two breaks – from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 5.15 p.m. The performers are non-professional ensembles across the country. As every ensemble performs three different people – authentic, processed without choreographic composition and processed with choreographic composition.

I love to travel because of the encounters with diverse people and cultures and the chance to touch other worlds. And this can happen even without leaving the borders of your own country. For example, at a festival, you can travel thousands of years and dozens of borders without leaving your place. For me, the journey is not only beautiful landscapes and ancient landmarks but also thousands of human stories. Let's learn them together.
