After two inspiring editions of the Sofia (bal)FOLK WEEKEND, we are thrilled to announce that the opening of registrations for our 3rd edition will start in February 2027! Our main focus is to bring together folk musicians from the Balkans and the wider balfolk world, creating a unique meeting point for traditions, creativity, and exchange. We are very curious and excited to discover who will join us as our guest artists in the coming year.
The Sofia (bal)FOLK WEEKEND remains a small and intimate gathering — up to 30 full‑time participants — where musicians, dancers, and enthusiasts can meet each other, with the local community, and with the living folk traditions of the city center of Sofia.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part in our previous editions. Your energy, curiosity, and generosity have been truly inspiring, and we can’t wait to continue growing this beautiful community together.
What to expect in the 3rd edition:
• Workshops in Balkan, Balfolk, and mixed folk traditions
• Space for spontaneous music-making, singing, and dancing
• Evening concerts designed for dancing
• A flexible programme that adapts to participants’ interests — if at least 5 people share a topic, we will organize a themed workshop
• A folky trip around Sofia
• A warm, friendly atmosphere where local and international participants meet and create together
Workshop spaces remain limited: around 15 places for music workshops and 25 for dance workshops, with prior registration recommended. Evening balls are open to everyone.
We look forward to welcoming you again — or for the first time — to celebrate folk traditions in all their diversity.
See you next year!
