Zenith fusion festival: Regenerating Traditions

Zenith is a boutique festival that showcases an anthology of Bulgaria’s beauty. Zenith simply makes use of what is already locally present: nature, heritage, culture. The festival supports initiatives that successfully create contemporary relevant ways for tradition to survive and regenerate. During the day businesses, craftsmen and organizations show their take on it through workshops and lectures. During the night local acts, modern ethno bands and world music DJ's fuse styles, times and continents. The amphitheatrical stage becomes a window to the world. All participants are active on the crossroad of LOCAL and GLOBAL, PAST and FUTURE.

Zenith Fusion festival takes place on 24, 25 and 26 June, thereby kicking off the festival season. The first day, 24.06, is known as the folkloric Midsummer (”Enyovden”) marked by the Summer Solstice and is one of the country’s most vivid and joyful folklore traditions.

Find us at the village of Dolen, an architectural reserve, hosting a beautiful historic center, fun grandmothers, breathtaking panorama's and of course... a staggeringly beautiful amphitheater.
