Yavorov Days in Pomorie 2025: Program and Events

The shadows of words will come to life again in Pomorie. For the 67th time, the seaside town is preparing to pay tribute to one of the greatest sons of Bulgarian literature—the poet Peyo Yavorov. Traditionally, the event will gather residents and guests to honor the work and bright memory of the lyrical genius.
