 With pleasure we INVITE you (folk groups, Choral groups and orchestras majorette teams), (children, youth and adults groups) to participate on International  Music & Folk - Dance festival “SOFIA FEST  ”  01- 04 March ,Sofia,BULGARIA 2024

  By far Bulgaria’s biggest city, Sofia is one of Europe’s most compact and walkable capital cities. It’s usually bypassed by tourists heading to the coast or the ski resorts, but they’re missing out onomething special. Sofia has a young and dynamic vibe, like a city waking up after decades of slumber, and is becoming a confident and mcosmopolitan European capital.
