Carolers from the town of Yambol perform the traditional Christmas dance “Buenek”

On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, carolers from the town of Yambol dance to the rhythm of a unique dance called Koledarski buenek. The century-old tradition has been attracting the interest of ethnographers and local historians for years. 

The dance emerged in the oldest residential neighborhood in Yambol- Kargon.  Carolers are dressed in military trousers, white shirts, vests, boots, boot spurs and leather hats decorated with popcorn and boxwood. They perform the boisterous dance in a synchronized manner and in a straight line.
