More than 20 thousand people are expected to visit the XIV International Festival of Folk Costume in the World Architectural Monument village of Zheravna in southeastern Bulgaria.

The event starts today and runs until Sunday. Visitors will be able to wear Bulgarian costumes and get away from civilisation for at least a few days, says Hristo Dimitrov, the producer of Bulgare folk dance ensemble, by whose idea the festival was created.

The program of the festival features numerous folk concerts, dances, authentic costume contests, and Bulgarian folk dance lessons. Festival rules oblige all participants to be dressed in folk costume and not to carry phones, cameras, sunglasses, lighters, or any plastic objects.
