The festival of folk costume was created in 2008 to enable anyone wishing for at least one day of the year to put a traditional folk costume and make a jump in the time going back century and a half ago. The festival is a parade of Bulgarian and foreign folk costumes, combined with entertainment in an authentic atmosphere and mandatory personal involvement of every visitor.
