After the global pandemic blocked the entire cultural life last year, the traditional International Folklore Festival in Veliko Tarnovo will be held this year, albeit on a smaller scale than in previous years. The festival will once again be part of the cultural calendar of the old capital from July 25 to 30 on the stage of the Summer Theater.
On September 21, the National Folklore Ensemble “Bulgare” will present for the first time to the audience of Veliko Tarnovo their new big scale spectacle “The Eight Miracle” with the special participation of Hollywood celebrity Ben Cros. The spectacle will be held at the National Palace of Culture and Sports “Vasil Levski”.
More than 5 thousand participants and over 400 collectives will participate in the festival “Folklore Izvor”, which will be held in early August in the village of Tsarevets, Veliko Tarnovo region. This year, students of the professional folklore schools in Kotel, Shiroka Luka, Varna, Sofia, Bourgas and others will also dance in the forum.
