A vibrant and free-entry event will mark the beginning of the summer mountain tourist season in the Rhorope town of Chepelare. Starting on June 27 at 6:00 pm in Olympic Square, the festival will offer a combination of traditional Rhodope cuisine and Bulgarian music.

The tasting of traditional dishes prepared by local chefs under the "The Magic of Bulgarian Food" project will be followed by an open-air concert featuring Stefan Valdobrev and the musicians from the band ''The Usual Suspects''. TRIGAIDA will also take the stage, bringing their unique fusion of folklore and electronic sounds to create a magical atmosphere under the open sky.
