Independent cinema, delicious food and street fashion as well as shows of new talents are just some of the attractions of the youth event

Favorite event in Plovdiv for the guests of the town and the locals returns with full force. “From June 1st to June 3rd again we will turn Kapana into the most magical place under the sky that will stay in your heart!”, say the organizers of the event, whose emblem are the numerous flags in the art district of Plovdiv.

Unique bazaars, stunning art installations, selected tastes, monstrous talents, musical giants, street dances, independent cinema, remarkable theater, non-standard poetry. These are just some of the surprises for Kapana Fest guests - or as the organizers say: “Three days that will fill your eyes, your soul, and those little places and performances will be mesmerized in your heart”.

Five stages are all set for the melodies they will mix the best Bulgarian DJs. The party will also attract special guests from the state clubs. And this year it will not go without the bazaar for gramophone records. The new pedestrian street “Yoakmi Gruev” in the Kapana will be again the stage for “The voice of the festival” for the new young talents of Plovdiv and all Bulgaria.

“Kapana” Bazaar will present over 120 modern craftsmen. Author’s articles, bio food and beverages and a zone for contemporary Bulgarian street fashion will be only part of the surprises for the visitors of the festival. There will also be a literary area because some of the most remarkable Bulgarian children authors will be included in the festival.

The grounds around the Djumaya will become an open cinema arena. On a magical green carpet, participants in the Kapana fest will be able to sit and watch independent cinema. Among the bands there will be films, entirely shot with a drone. A jug, a trampoline and a climbing wall are the locations for people looking for an adrenaline rush.

The Fest is the most anticipated event for young people. Especially to join the three-day outdoor festival, tourists from all over come and from aboard, last year the festival was attended by nearly 100,000 people. Organizers are determined that this time their number will be bigger.

Plovdiv’s art district is among the top attractions for foreign tourists. According to tour operators who organize daily Plovdiv trips say that tourists like to visit the Kapana area and join in on the fun and the art crafts, mix with the locals and learn about the culture.
