On September 6th, the city of Pomorie will host the national festival "Tastes of Bulgaria," visiting the seaside town as part of its large-scale three-day kickoff, which began the previous day in Burgas. The festive event will take place in front of the "Prosveta 1888" Community Center, starting at 5:30 PM. The organizers specify that admission is completely free, and guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the offered food and drinks at no cost.
The program offers a captivating mix of musical performances and culinary demonstrations. Participants from the popular show Hell’s Kitchen – Nikola Simeonov, Desislava Trifonova, and Iliyan Sabkov – will take to the stage. Adding an international flavor to the event will be the renowned Turkish master chef, Chef Rishat, who will introduce the audience to the characteristic aromas and tastes of Turkish cuisine. In this way, the festival achieves its goal of uniting Bulgarian traditions with the culinary heritage of neighboring countries in one place.
The musical part of the evening will be opened by Greek performer Iordanis Agapitos, whose guest appearance highlights the international nature of the initiative, which aims to build bridges through cultural exchange. He will be joined by Plamena Petrova, who became popular from the show "Your Face Sounds Familiar" ("Kato dve kapki voda").
