"Burgas Blues Fest"
When: August 21, 2026
Where: open stage in the Sea Garden (next to " Flora " )
Burgas Blues Fest has a long history - from those that began in the 90s with music, friendships and people who believed that a city by the sea could have its own blues scene. At the beginning of this story stands Plamen Stavrev together with a large community of like-minded people and connoisseurs, who together have grown the festival to unsuspected heights. Then the stage fell silent.
This year, Mariana Dobreva, with the support of the Municipality of Burgas, takes over the baton and the festival returns under the motto "With a song for Plamen". As a sign of gratitude to the past and the one who was called "the soul of the festival", all Bulgarian bands will sing one of his songs.
The program includes: "The Cold Shots", " Atoluka Blues Kartel ", " Harmonic ", " Sakis Dovolis Trio ", " Vasko Krypkata " and " Poduene Blues Band " . The afterparty will be at BARABAR
