Folk costumes and customs from across the country will be presented at the Kostina Historical Site in Ribaritsa village. The event will take place on 19 and 20 July as part of the Holiday of Folk Customs and Authentic Costumes. According to the Bulgarian News Agency BTA, this is the 17th year that this festival has been organised.

It will feature performances by over a thousand amateur artists, with a particular focus on authentic costumes and customs.

'Over the two days, we will enjoy more than 130 performances from small community centres from all over the country that have preserved the authenticity of the costumes and customs,' said Stanislava Stoyanova, the festival's director. Our focus is on authentic folklore rather than its processed version," said Stanislava Stoyanova, the festival's director. Guests at the festival will also have the opportunity to sample traditional local cuisine prepared by a master chef from the region.
