There's no one who have been in Rhodope mountain and did not fall in love in it - in the magnificient pine trees, in the Rodopi's songs, in the authentic kaba-pipes in in the Rhodope's barbecue.
And now Rhodope mountain get us together again for the Festival of Rozhen - the fest of folklore and livestock breeding. At the very begining in 1898 it was a family meeting, but with the time it progressed as a National folk festival.
The innovative cultural event presents folk songs, customs, rituals, oral folklore, dances, clothing and costumes – a full representation of our traditional folk culture. In today’s world this cultural wealth brings joy, pride, national identity and promotes a quest for and preservation of ethnicity. The festival offers a large-scale exhibition of the traditional Bulgarian occupation of livestock breeding, presented in our modern times.
