In August, you have another reason to visit Burgas. This year, St. Anastasia Island will celebrate its “birthday” with a festive program spanning 4 days. The favorite tourist destination will offer its visitors music, experiences and many emotions to share.
------------------------------
The events start on August 13 (Thursday) with a themed DJ party in the spirit of the 80s and 90s. “Disco Voyage” on St. Anastasia Island is not just an event – it is an experience that begins even before the first song. You get on the ship, leave the city behind and gradually feel how everything slows down. The sea, the wind, the sunset… and the feeling that tonight will be different. Special photo corners will be built on the island. The bar will offer a selection of themed cocktails inspired by the iconic years. Last remaining tickets for the event can be purchased from gotoburgas.com and bilet.bg .
