This is what summer evenings in Bulgaria look like.

During the warm summer months, Bulgarians love spending their evenings outdoors—in parks, gardens, and town squares—sharing music, laughter, and good times together.

Sometimes, all you need is a group of friends, a few guitars, and a song under the stars. ✨🎸

July Morning is more than a tradition. It is Bulgaria’s message to the world:
Even after the longest night, the sun rises again.

Choose freedom.
Choose love.
Choose life.

Happy July Morning, Bulgaria! ❤️🇧🇬
Today, Bulgaria welcomes not just the first sunrise of July — we welcome a symbol of freedom.

July Morning is one of the most unique Bulgarian traditions. Every year, on the night of June 30th and the morning of July 1st, thousands of people gather by the sea, on cliffs, beaches, rivers, mountains, and open fields to watch the sun rise together.

But this day has never been only about the sun.

It is about the Bulgarian love for freedom.
About the need to breathe, to dream, to gather with friends, to feel alive.
About a country whose people have always carried a deep, restless desire for independence — in history, in spirit, and in the heart.

Born during a time when freedom was not always easy to express, July Morning became a quiet but powerful symbol of hope, rebellion, friendship, music, and a new beginning. Inspired by the legendary song “July Morning” by Uriah Heep, the tradition grew into something deeply Bulgarian — a celebration of life under the open sky.

From the Black Sea coast to the mountains, Bulgarians meet the first July sun with music, silence, emotion, and gratitude.

Because Bulgaria loves its freedom.
And July Morning reminds us that every sunrise is a chance to begin again.

Happy July Morning from Bulgaria. 🌅

Sometimes Bulgaria does not need any filters. 🌈

Just the sound of seagulls, the sea breeze, a quiet walk by the coast and a rainbow appearing at exactly the right moment.

One of those simple moments that make you stop for a second and remember why the Bulgarian seaside feels so special.

On May 24th, Bulgaria celebrates not just culture and education, but the Bulgarian alphabet itself — Cyrillic. 🇧🇬

More than 1,100 years ago, Bulgaria became the center from which Slavic literacy and culture spread to millions of people.
It was in Bulgaria, within the Preslav and Ohrid Literary Schools, that the Cyrillic alphabet was developed and began its widespread expansion.

From Bulgaria, Cyrillic later spread to:

Russia
Ukraine
Belarus
Serbia
North Macedonia
and many other nations.

Today, more than 250 million people around the world use the Cyrillic alphabet.

And when Bulgaria joined the European Union in 2007, Cyrillic officially became the EU’s third alphabet — after Latin and Greek.

“We too have given something to the world.” 🇧🇬📚
