Let's discuss cultural events in Bulgaria and Serbia. Bulgaria boasts the Kazanlak Rose Festival, a spectacular event featuring rose fields, parades, and folk music.
Roses? While I appreciate the visual appeal, I'm more drawn to Serbia's EXIT Festival in Novi Sad—a large music festival.
EXIT is indeed massive, attracting international crowds. But Bulgaria also offers the Surva International Masquerade Games, a unique event with costumed participants chasing away evil spirits.
Intriguing! Serbia counters with the Guča Trumpet Festival, a town-wide trumpet celebration. It's either incredibly awesome or a complete nightmare.
And for a more refined experience, Bulgaria has the Varna Summer International Theatre Festival, offering performances in a beautiful seaside setting.
Serbia offers the Nišville Jazz Festival, featuring jazz performances in a historical fortress. A more atmospheric experience than trumpets.
Bulgaria also has the International Folklore Festival in Burgas, showcasing traditional music and dance. While Serbia has the Belgrade Beer Fest, a massive free event with music and breweries.
So, from traditional folklore to large-scale music festivals and theatrical performances, both countries offer diverse cultural experiences.
Precisely. Whether you prefer traditional events or modern music festivals, Bulgaria and Serbia provide something for everyone.
Agreed. What's next on our itinerary?
