By tradition, the village of Ravnogor in the Rhodope Mountains hosts a few festivals at the end of July: the mini-festival Nabora and since last year, a bagpipe playing competition. They offer a lot of folk music and dances and attract Bulgarians and foreigners alike.
Nabora is a curious local tradition practiced for longer than 100 years. It is dedicated to boys who have recently turned 18. In old times boys held parties before they joined the army as conscripts. In Bulgaria mandatory military service has been abolished but Ravnogor is still the venue of such parties promoting the patriotic spirit of local boys. Dressed in white shirts they play a traditional folklore chain dance and urge relatives, friends and visitors to join them.
