A number of Bulgarian pop, folk and rock stars will entertain the citizens and guests of Veliko Tarnovo who choose to meet the New Year in the centre of the town, in front of Veliko Tarnovo Municipality. The show is intended to resemble a live radio programme; the radio-presenter will pretend to be airing live from Veliko Tarnovo playing advertising massages praising the old Bulgarian capital; there will also be talks with the performers and the people in the street can express their well-wishings for their loved ones and the coming year.
The idea is for the citizens and guests of the town to take active part in the New Year Eve’s programme under the stars. There will be many surprises and of course fortune banitsa (white cheese filo pastry with good wishes for the coming year). Come party and have a great time in the centre of magnificent Veliko Tarnovo.
Here’s the whole programme for the New Year’s Eve:
