A national-level folklore festival focusing on Strandzha dance traditions. Held annually since around 2019, it features parades and concerts of folk dance groups, climaxing in a mass horo (circle dance) and nestinar (fire dance) 1. The festival is usually paired with the local food festival and brings together folklore clubs from across Bulgaria.
It emphasizes communal folk dance (horo) as a key Strandzha tradition. Strandzha is known for its distinctive dances and bagpipe music, and this festival preserves and showcases those regional forms. The festival also demonstrates how song and dance are integrated into rural life and local celebrations 1.
