A solemn liturgy was held this morning at the church of the Assumption in the seaside town, and a national flag-raising ceremony took place in front of the fortress walls. Various events will be held today – a children’s festival with the Balkanski circus, a concert by the popular band - the Foundation, a concert by violinist Svet Radoslavof, and other music events.  Orlin Goranov and Edelina Kaneva will perform with the orchestra of the Burgas opera house at the amphitheatre in the town tonight.
