Bulgaria Presented During the WorldFest in Addison, TX(October 24-25, 2009)
Bulgarian culture and traditions were presented during the 2009 WorldFest held in Addison on October 24th and 25th. Bulgarians
living in the DFW area proudly presented the beauty of their homeland,
providing traditional Bulgarian music, dancing, food and cultural
symbols. The Bulgarian tents were, without doubt, the best arranged
section of the entire event. The Bulgarian flag and the name of the
country were visible from all directions. The tents were decorated
outside and inside with colorful images of Bulgarian geography,
history, culture and traditional dishes. The visitors were able to
purchase a variety of typical Bulgarian items, from rose oil and wooden
and ceramic souvenirs to CDs with Bulgarian music. The top feature was
the presentation by the Bulgarian Folk Ensemble "LYUSH", whose
beautiful voices, dancing skills and traditional folk clothing were
artistically wonderful.
 
The
most attractive part of the Bulgarian group were the high spirits and
friendly attitude which are typical of Bulgarian people. The Bulgarian
people that gathered together were one of the largest and most
enthusiastic groups of all the nationalities presented. Even far away
from their country, Bulgarian people showed their deep connection with
their traditions and culture, as well as their togetherness and passion.
 Bulgaria was presented by the newly formed “Bulgarian American Cultural Center
"Bulgare", a non-profit organization, whose people behind it have been
very active for the past two years organizing concerts, classes,
workshops, exhibits and other quality cultural exchanges. In
a very short time the organization has developed such ambitious
initiatives as a Bulgarian school; established connections with the
Bulgarian Embassy in Washington, DC; created media presentations of the
Bulgarian culture, traditions and cuisine. The enthusiasm shown by the
foundation leaders is an invitation to all Bulgarian people living in
the DFW area to contribute to the development of the cultural center by
participating, initiating new forums and volunteering their personal
skills, ideas and efforts.
