The International Festival of Military Bands and the Festival of Crafts on Samovodska Charshia (Street of Crafts) in Veliko Tarnovo both start today. They will also be the first events within the celebration of the 115th anniversary of Bulgaria's independence, reports BNR correspondent Zdravka Maslyankova. Among the participants in the Festival of Military Bands is the Wind Orchestra of the Royal Belgian Air Force.
