There will be no military equipment at the festive parade on May 6— The Day of Valor and the Bulgarian Armed Forces. However, about 700 servicemen will march on the Knyaz Alexander I Square, Brigadier General Bozhidar Boykov said. In his words, people will see the most valuable asset the army possesses- the people who serve in it.

Servicemen in eight ceremonial formations from the National Guards Unit, the Bulgarian Land Forces, the 2nd Tundzha Mechanized Brigade, the Bulgarian Air Force, the Bulgarian Navy, the Joint Special Operations Command, the Vasil Levski National Military University and the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy and the Representative Brass Band of the National Guard Unit will participate at the parade.

 Rehearsals for the event began on May 1, and the "final assembly" of the parade is currently underway at the Dobroslavtsi training ground.
