Moreover, the number of folklore formations has increased significantly and many young Bulgarians joined such folklore groups.

On June 17 the coastal city of Varna will host the Folklore Dance Panorama 2018. Then, the event will continue with concerts in other big Bulgarian cities –Burgas, Stara Zagora, Smolyan, Pazardzhik, Dupnitsa, Shumen, etc. Many popular professional and amateur formations and folklore groups have joined this national folklore festival.
