Tsarevets is once again becoming a place for reviving old traditions. On Saturday, April 27, the village located near the town of Mezdra is hosting the third edition of the "Soap Festival," which presents a typical local custom passed down from generation to generation. For the residents of Tsarevets, making homemade soap is a longstanding tradition. It is no coincidence that it was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
Throughout the day, guests of the village of Tsarevets can learn about this interesting ancient custom. The village residents are to present their authentic lifestyle and culture on the so-called "Street of Crafts". Thus, visitors to the "Soap Fest" will have the opportunity to go back to the distant past, when in order to have something, people had to make it with their own hands.
Traditionally, soap is made in the spring when the weather is still cool, and its ingredients include lard, water, salt and caustic soda.
The festival is organised with the support of the Municipality of Mezdra. It features a rich folklore programme.
