The event is on Saturday, March 4, at 11:30 a.m. local time. 

The national anthems of Bulgaria and the United States will be played to mark the 120th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. 

The event will last about an hour and all guests will be invited to join in a traditional Bulgarian horo chain dance and brighten up the square with the colours and rhythms of Bulgaria.
