Magicians, jugglers, clowns, musicians and other talented artists entertained both young and old at the first Street Art Festival in Bulgaria, which took place on May 18 and 19 in Bankya. The festive mood was in tune with nice weather and the performances of more than 30 participants. The start of the festival was given as artists arrived on a train pulled by a vintage steam locomotive. Residents and guests of the town had the opportunity to donate funds for a charity cause - the construction of benches and chess and board games at the central park in Bankya. The aim of the organizers is music, theater, circus arts and pantomime to become a part of the annual Days of Culture in the town.
