The "Big Table" initiative will take place in Sofia for the last time this year

In the summer of 2024, a Sofia municipality and its residents showed how we can be happy and united as a community, sitting at one table. In July 2024, on Exarch Yosif Street and in September on Oborishte Street in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, the first Big Tables were held as events of a long-term and very human initiative. A place where unknown neighbors sat together at a long, 60-meter table, and the shared food brought by each of them became an occasion for conversation, rapprochement, getting to know each other and friendship.


On September 20, the last edition for this year will be held in the central Oborishte Street, which will be under the motto "One Community". For the last time, the table will be twice as large - 120 m, the neighbors will be more numerous and more international, and the program will be richer - the organizers promise. 

Numerous activities, games and musical performances have been prepared, which will turn the Saturday of everyone passing through the center of Sofia into an unforgettable and warm experience. 

The event starts at 11:00 AM and will last until 10:00 PM with free admission.
