The Rose festival – Kazanlak 2012

VisitBulgaria.NET

Imagine a spring field scented with the intoxicating aroma of roses and lavender. See the sun caressing the naked land. Enjoy the dark green crowns of the nut threes and feel the fresh whiff of the oak forests in the Balkan mountain range.
You are in the valley of Roses – where for more than 100 years at the beginning of June the beautiful rose fest is being held. In 2012 it will be transformed into a festival of arts and traditions with a special tribute to the Queen Rose – the symbol of Bulgaria.
The festival will last more than a month (19 May – 24 June) and will include music, theatre, open air spectacles, dance, carnival, flash mob, exhibitions, work shops, tasting events and numerous competitions.
The rose picking ritual will be held on 25 May, 03 June and 09 June. Queen rose will be crowned on 01 June and 09 June 2012.

The best ethno musicians and their jazz, classic and fusion performances will entertain guests and residents of Kazanlak on 24 May, 25 May, 02 June, 16 June and 24 June 2012.

Do not forget that May and June are just the right time for a photo hunting tour in the Valley of roses.
