Bulgarian evening and nestinari dances
Let us tell you more. A Bulgarian national evening is a popular excursion during which participants get to know the culture and traditions of the country. Such events take place in village houses, ethnographic complexes or in the open air.
A folklore evening in Bulgaria consists of several parts. First of all, there is a traditional dinner. Guests are served tasty dishes such as fresh vegetable salads, meat and homemade cheeses. Some programmes also include a tasting of local wine or other drinks.
A Bulgarian village evening near Sunny Beach also means folk dances. Dance groups in traditional costumes perform for the guests, and visitors are often invited to join in, which makes the evening even more fun. The programme may also include theatrical scenes, demonstrations of traditional crafts and stories about local customs.
Fire dancing on hot coals in Bulgaria is a unique tradition that visitors love and one of the oldest cultural customs of the country. Dancers walk barefoot on glowing coals, which looks spectacular and becomes the climax of the evening. The nestinari dances are accompanied by special music. Before stepping onto the fire, the performer prepares for the ritual and enters a trance, which helps the nestinari walk on hot coals without serious burns.
