Bulgaria 2020: 
Folk Dance Tour of Bulgaria, including the Koprivshtitsa Folk Dance Festival! 
August 2-26, 2020
Your folk dance bucket list will not be complete until you visit this Mecca of folk dance festivals.  The festival is so popular and the town so small that many will have to take buses to hotels far from Koprivshtitsa each night ... but not us!  We have reserved quaint guest houses right in the historic little village of Koprivshtitsa so we will be in the center of all the action! There will not be another Koprivshtitsa Festival until 2025.  Don't wait!
