'It was a true pleasure for our dancers to share the stage with 14 other groups from various parts of Canada and the US,' the Bulgarica team shared on Facebook. Over the course of the two festival days, the dancers had the opportunity to connect with their peers who share the same passion for Bulgarian folklore, and to experience the emotions of this wonderful event together.


Huge thanks to the hosts of this unique festival, Maria and Dimitar, who took care of every detail and showed all the groups just how special, heartfelt and soulful this event truly is".
