Kapana : Behind the scenes
“Kapana is an emotion”
Going deep into the trap, Kapana is the creative district in the center of Plovdiv. Everyone has a different opinion of the district but it all circles back to the fact that it’s one of a kind, there is not a dull moment in our precious community.
We have a few posts about or what kind of events there are, but we have decided to take a different route to this, here is what the Kapana means to the locals and our guests:
“The Trap is the love that comes to you quickly and imperceptibly, but it remains forever”- Ivet
“Chill vibes. Best place to just sit and chill, talk to people, probably one of the friendliest places in Plovdiv.”- Abu
“Kapana has a quality that makes you feel calm, the moment you sit down at your favorite coffee shop with your friends you just know this is the place for you, even if you’re alone it never feels like it.” – Lily
“To be honest Kapana will always have a place in my heart, after all that’s where I met my soul mate”- Mira
“For me Kapana is the hive of Plovdiv. This is where all the greatest and unique events happen”- Elina
“Plovdiv is the most magical city in the whole world and Kapana/The trap is that one place I love to get lost in”- Vily
“Kapana for me is a relaxing place, you can be yourself without any judgment, you can show sides of yourself that no one has seen before. Why is the trap called like that? Because it catches your thoughts and your feelings, with all your artistry.”- Viliyana
“For me kapana is one of the most wonderful places in Plovdiv probably. You can meet such creative and inspiring people at all times, it’s a perfect place to just socialize, having fun just being there really.”- Marin
“Kapana is a big emotion for any person; you get to meet such cool and vibrant people and just like that years of memories remain even if they do not see each other again. I met a girl like that, she was holding her teddy bear, of course I don’t remember her name but that memory will never leave me.
Just because of my camera that I shot with I got the chance to meet unique people and to talk with them. I hope everyone actually gets to meet someone so casually and just have a great time, walk around, do interesting things, watch interesting shows and just have fun. That’s what Kapana is to me.”- Vesko
Kapana is not just a district - it’s an emotion, it’s a community with doors wide open for new experiences, filled with different types of entertainment and possibilities, modern culture, studios, galleries, exhibitions. It has new activities that our locals and guests enjoy. The district is always ready with new events and not one is like the other.
The ironic part of it is that the district is called the Kapana which translates to “The trap”, and getting lost has never felt more welcoming.
