The iconic St. Anastasia Island is preparing for its next exciting annual celebration, which will attract hundreds of tourists and maritime history enthusiasts. The jubilee eleventh edition of the festival promises an exceptionally diverse and attractive event on August 15 and 16, 2025.

The organizers have prepared a large-scale program that combines traditional and modern events. Visitors will be able to enjoy authentic folklore, presented by the youth ensemble "Lukoil Neftohim" under the leadership of Mario Egov, and participate in various thematic initiatives.

The first day of the festival will be filled with cultural events. At 10:30, guests will be welcomed with a traditional bread and marinated fish. Special attention will be paid to the lighthouse, which will be open for free visits. An interesting program point is the presentation of the book "Legend of Bulgarian Monasteries" by Mina Krasteva.

The culmination of the first day will be the concert of the popular formation Deep Zone Project, which will take place at 21:00. The musical experience promises to charge the attendees with positive energy and unforgettable emotions.

The second day is dedicated to sports and maritime adventures. At 9:30, the Swimming Marathon "For Maria" will start, which will circle the island. Participants will have the opportunity to swim 800 meters around St. Anastasia, with winners receiving attractive prizes - including vouchers for overnight stays and family trips.

The spiritual part of the program includes a water blessing at the "Assumption of the Virgin" temple at 12:00, which will complement the emotional palette of the festival. The evening will end with a concert by the group Deja Vu, which will delight contemporary music fans.
