More than 120 traders, craftsmen and producers present their products every day and the program also includes open-air music concerts every night. Entrance is free and this year the organizers focus on the participation of many performers from Bulgaria’s neighbors Serbia and Romania.

For the first time, music contest between brass bands from Bulgaria and Serbia will be organized.
