We are happy to make you a part of an important cultural event.
In the summer of 1998 champions of the idea to popularize Bulgarian folklore together with connoisseurs of the international folklore traditions united their efforts to set up a new cultural forum - an annual International Folklore Festival taking place in the Old Bulgarian capital of Veliko Tarnovo and the surrounding area. 

Purposes of the festival are:
- To present the folklore wealth and traditions of the whole world.
- To popularize Bulgarian music and dance arts from all folklore regions.
- To establish a cultural exchange between institutions and collectives from the country and abroad.
- To develop cultural tourism in Veliko Tarnovo, the Veliko Tarnovo region.
