The tenth anniversary edition of the folklore festival of Bulgarians abroad "On the Town Square of the Other Bulgaria" will be held on June 6, 7 and 8 in the French city of Lyon, returning to the place where all started back in 2015. The dance group "Ot Izvora" from Lyon, led by Anita Ekenova, will host an unforgettable celebration.
