🌿 Dear friends,

🌿 Just three weeks left till the beginning of the International Traditional Food Festival. It will be held in the Historical Park in Bulgaria on August 29th and 30th from 11 am till 6 pm.

🌿 There is food which satiates and food that tells history. We believe that everyone deserves the best food – this one which gives energy to live healthy and full of value life. That’s why we treat it responsible and with love and we offer your something different – slow cooked food, with care and patience, according to recipes which are saved and passed on to generations.

🌿 That weekend in the Historical Park will be gathered together master chefs, vine-growers, farmers and craftsmen from Bulgaria and the Balkans. For these people food is not just for feeding, it is a history told by taste.

🌿 We shall present people who keep culinary traditions alive. Our visitors will try food forgotten in urban life. They will learn more about the rich history on our land – about crafts, means of livelihood and creative work. We shall present products, which are going to disappear if we don’t care about. Recipes, which just a few people know will get a second life in front of you, and your senses will be awakened by tastes which you haven’t tasted for ages.

🌿 Among the vast spaces of the Historical Park, amidst the beautiful nature, you will have the opportunity to visit culinary workshops and numerous presentations of traditional dishes from Bulgaria and the neighboring Balkan countries. Skilled master chefs, famous sommeliers and organic food producers will demonstrate their skills for you. You will see them next to artisans shaping ceramics and farmers bringing the best of their labor to the market - honey, cheeses, spices and homemade delicacies.

🌿 Welcome to the Historical Park in Bulgaria on August 29th and 30th from 11 am till 6 pm and be a part of the International Traditional Food Festival.

Before the Olympic fire united the World, the ancient people competed in Areti games.

On the 26th of July, as part of the ancient weekend Odryusa - the Cradle of a Thousand Cities from 11:00 a.m., in front of the Palace of King Seuthes III in the Historical Park, anyone can take on the role of an ancient athlete.

You don't have to be an athlete. You don't have to train actively. It's enough to want to try.

Running in armor - feel the weight that every ancient warrior carried.
Javelin throwing - strength, accuracy, technique.
Discus throwing - balance and precision, an eternal symbol of ancient sport.
Long jump - every centimeter gained with concentration and courage.

The Victory is not just a result - it is the feeling that for a moment you have touched something that is thousands of years old.
Come with friends or with the whole family, sign up to participate in the Areti Thracian Games — and let's show together that the spirit of athletes has no age.
