In the Bulgarian city of Veliko Tarnovo, you have a chance to enjoy Balkan folklore at its best. In May, thousands of participants from different regions of the country gather in the old capital to present their stunning folk songs, dances, and customs at the Balkan Folklore Festival.
Every year the folk performers come to Veliko Tarnovo not just to show their true art of dancing, singing, or playing, but to share the joy and satisfaction that folk music brings and to meet old or new friends. The festival is not only about music, dances, and songs. Here one can find some fairs with different products from local artisans.
