Bulgarian folklore

On March 1, Bulgarians celebrate Baba Marta - one of the most beloved Bulgarian traditions, preserved to this day. We associate the holiday with the symbolic beginning of spring and the renewal of nature. On this day, everyone presents their loved ones with martenitsi - special ornaments made of white and red yarn. They are a symbol of health, luck and strength during the year.

In anticipation of the International Festival of Masquerade Games "Surva," the town of Pernik has declared January 26 a non-school day, setting the stage for a vibrant celebration. The festival, renowned for its colorful and spirited masquerade parades, promises an extraordinary experience for participants and spectators alike.

As the New Year approaches, Bulgarians embrace the ancient tradition of "survakane," crafting magical dogwood sticks known as "survachki" to usher in health and prosperity on Basil's Day.

On this day, people greet each other with "Happy Baba Marta" and exchange adornments called "martenitsi" (named after the month of March).
