NIGHT/Plovdiv
NIGHT/Plovdiv is a large scale cultural festival based in Plovdiv, Bulgaria since 2005. The format started by initiative of SARIEV Gallery founders Vesselina and Katrin Sarievi. In 2007 the two established the Open Arts Foundation – the NIGHT’s main organiser. Like other “White Nights” around the world, the idea is for the audience to encounter artists, art and culture in unusual evening and late-night hours. In 2005 the program included around 20 events attended by around 3 K people. In the last editions the festival has more that 50 K visitors, 70 locations and above 140 events. The dates of the festival are usually in September, all event are free of charge.
