This year's festive program of the local municipality will start on December 2 with the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at "Vazrazhdane" square. The event will feature songs, dances, a performance by children from the National School of Arts "Panayot Pipkov" and other participants.


The Christmas Town will be the center of events, including charitable causes. A major attraction this year will be the ice rink at "Vazrazhdane" square, which will remain open until January 2.


The New Year’s Eve program will include performances by Duet Amore, Poli Genova and folk singer Petya Baneva, who will entertain revellers in the final hours of 2024. The organizers promise plenty of fun, light effects and a festive atmosphere for all residents and guests of the city.
