Eurovision 2027's three contest nights at Burgas Arena will come with a city-wide programme. The EBU and Bulgarian National Television are setting up a Eurovision Village, a EuroClub and cultural events, with details to follow in stages.

The shows run on May 11, 13 and 15, 2027, with the final on May 15. That's also when the biggest crowds of fans are expected in Burgas.

The Eurovision Village is where fans will gather for music and public events. The EuroClub takes over at night with DJ sets, dancing and after-show meetups, though organisers haven't said yet where it will be.

Organisers haven't said what the full programme will include. Some events outside Burgas Arena may be free, but the terms will be confirmed later. The idea is to take the contest beyond the arena so the whole city becomes part of it.

Burgas already hosts festivals and concerts, and the city's official calendar lists music, theatre, art and festival events.

Fans will also have free time between the shows. The Sea Garden links the city centre to the beach and the sea station, and the pier offers views of both the sea and the city. The beaches include Central and North, as well as the quieter ones at Sarafovo and Kraymorie.

A boat runs from Burgas to St Anastasia Island. Another stop is Lake Atanasovsko, known for its salt pools, where the water turns pink in places.

Burgas's official tourism website lists dozens of places to eat and drink, including bars, beach bars, pubs and nightclubs.

North of the city is Sunny Beach, which offers nightlife alongside water sports, water skiing, surfing, pedal boats and jet skis, yacht trips, beach volleyball, bowling and horse riding. Nearby Nessebar's tourism website lists clubs that run day and night, along with bars, discos and restaurants.

South of Burgas is Sozopol, with its old town, cobbled streets, beaches, campsites and marina. In the evening, visitors stroll through the old town and dine with sea views. The town's tourism website also lists water sports, diving, fishing, boat trips, beach time and camping. Weather permitting, visitors can also go sea kayaking to St Ivan and St Petar islands.
