Full Day SURVA Kukeri Traditional Folklore Festival Guided Tour
Rarely would one attend such a venue - just next to the dancing and jumping teams of the keen participants. The colorful masks, made out of leather, feathers, beads and many other things show us the creativity and in the same time the deep understanding of symbols from antiquity until nowadays.
We will be able to touch the fir costumes, to hear and see the heavy belts of bells - brass and copper, to see the exhausted but content and happy faces of the participants under the sounds of folklore music.
Please NOTE: The timing includes the time needed for the transfer between Sofia and Pernik as well as some time available to yourself for having meals or moving around taking photos from the actual performances etc.
