Summer is in full swing, and this weekend in Burgas an attractive program awaits you. Get in a good mood and come enjoy the events that will fill the weekends with a marine charge.
From July 8, Bulgaria will host the World Jet Ski Championship for the first time. The competition is held on Sarafovo beach under the patronage of Mayor Dimitar Nikolov, and the Aquatrax Racing club is responsible for the sports part of the event. Over 300 participants from all over the world are participating in the competition. The event will last until July 12.
The program continues with the theatrical production "Chamkoria" based on the novel by Milen Ruskov. The role of the main character Bae Slave is played by Zahari Baharov, and the performance is directed by Yavor Gardev. The production is on July 10 at 7:00 PM at the Burgas Summer Theater. The event is not suitable for persons under 16 years of age.
Saturday - July 11, five unforgettable events await you. From 8:00 to 13:00 on the alley in front of the Flora Exhibition Center, the "Antique Salon" bazaar will be held. Antique dealers from all over the country will offer beautiful antique items: porcelain figurines, wall and pocket clocks, weapons, silver and glass service, jewelry and ornaments.
At 9:00 AM, the most anticipated obstacle course challenge – “Become a Hero” – starts in the Sea Garden! This is not just another run. This is the intersection of the entire sports community and an arena where stepping out of your comfort zone becomes a habit!
Again on Saturday, at 9:00 PM, Rushi's first concert on St. Anastasia Island will take place. Fans will hear both brand new songs from the new album "Three Days of Miracles" and their favorite pop hits from the star's entire career.

On Sunday, Burgas residents and guests will enjoy a concert by the legendary Lili Ivanova. The icon of Bulgarian pop music will take to the stage of the Summer Theater on July 12 at 8:30 PM as part of her last major national tour. This is the last and only opportunity for the Burgas audience to experience the magic live and send the greatest Bulgarian pop artist of all time to the Burgas stage.
Do not miss to visit the space in front of the Pantheon in the Sea Garden, where there is a fan zone dedicated to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. A festival atmosphere awaits you, combining sports, cinema, music, cuisine and attractions. The largest 32m Ferris wheel will arrive in the heart of the Sea Garden and will remain until the end of the summer.
