The residents of the town of Gabrovo (Central North Bulgaria) will bid farewell to 2022 with a festive concert and fireworks on December 30. According to Mayor Tanya Hristova, it has already been empirically proven that the day before New Year's Eve the residents of Gabrovo are more enthusiastic and willing to celebrate and have fun together in the town square, because they are not tired of the hearty meals. 

The tradition of the early welcoming was established by the Gabrovo Municipality six years ago. The motive is the tightness with money of the citizens of Gabrovo, who know that on the penultimate day of the year the performers' fees are much more bearable compared to New Year's Eve. Younger people are also happy, because they can celebrate New Year’s Eve twice.
