Participation Information
We invite you to take part in the International Music & Folk Dance Festival “Sunny Beach 2025”, which will take place in the famous Bulgarian resort on the Black Sea—Sunny Beach, near the town of Nesebar, from August 7 to 12, 2025. The festival is open to children, youth, veterans, and mixed folk ensembles, as well as dance groups, majorettes, choirs, and orchestras.
As part of the festival, you will also perform at the “Chornomors’ke Beads” festival in Sveti Vlas on one of the festival nights.
The festival is a review-type event, with ensembles from Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, and Russia participating.
The festival will run for three days (Friday to Sunday), with performances scheduled for each night. While you can perform all three evenings or by agreement, a final performance on Sunday is required. You must prepare at least one choreography, which can be performed on any evening of the festival. It is desirable to have a different choreography for each night.
While musical accompaniment is not required, it is recommended that you perform to the accompaniment of a USB.
During the final night of the festival, there will be a parade, and the best male and female folk costumes, as well as the “Miss” and “Mister” of the festival, will be selected, along with the best dancing performance.
