There will be a carnival procession on the streets of Gabrovo again. The two years of the pandemic thwarted the iconic event of the Bulgarian Capital of Humour and Satire, but now it will flare up again to remind us that we need to look at the world with a smile.

The big city procession starts on May 21 at 6.30 pm. Visitors will be able to see over 60 paintings in it, as dozens of screenwriters, directors, tailors of carnival costumes, participants and various artists in the field of satire have participated in its preparation.

After the end of the most colourful and cheerful carnival procession, popular Bulgarian bands will play on the stage of Vazrazhdane Square, including Ostava, C-Block, Culture Beat, C+C Music Factory and Funky Monkeys. abig light show in the sky over Gabrovo is scheduled for 10 pm.

The next day - May 22, the carnival mood continues with the festival "Street" in the pedestrian zone "Radetska", and in the afternoon the traditional Big Band parade will take place at Vazrazhdane square.
