French Institute of Culture
European Heritage Days will be held on September 21 and 22 under the motto "Arts and Entertainment".
In Sofia, the event is organized by the French Institute in Bulgaria, the Ministry of Culture and Sofia Municipality in partnership with Bulgaria ON AIR.
Cultural heritage is a universal value that has different dimensions. The purpose of the event is to make people reassess it. It should not be seen as a monument, but as a living heritage that is an integral part of our lives and with which we interact.
More than 40 buildings of high cultural value in Sofia will open their doors free of charge.
The organizers have prepared an interesting program.

Selected restaurants
Discover the Tastes of Sofia with Sofia Restaurant Week - a festival that celebrates the fine cuisine in the capital.
Twice a year, in the span of one week, more than 6,000 people visit several of the 30 carefully selected
restaurants. All of the participating restaurants offer a three-course menu for the price of 30 BGN. The
restaurants are chosen not only for their chefs and the quality of their food, but also for the quality of service
and good interior design.

At its 9th edition, Piano Extravaganza Festival will present eight piano recitals, one chamber music concerts, one jazz concert, one music evening and “Open doors day” for adults and children. The extraordinary artists and the variety of the repertoire of the 12 events will satisfy even the most sophisticated connoisseurs.
The event has become a music festival with a distinct theme, which makes it unique in its character and program content.
The program of the event includes, along with the well-known masterpieces of classical music, works of similarly high quality, but rarely performed or by authors left undeservedly in the shadow of the most brilliant composers.

Nikolay Binev Youth Theatre
The Youth Fair Festival has been held every year since 2007, aiming to give a tribune to the youngest artists in the performing arts to perform for the first time. Since 2016, the format of the festival has been changing, keeping its focus on the young, but developing a poorly studied stage practice in Bulgaria - site-specific theater, which is a kind of a stage performance inspired by a specific site.
The festival is the only one of its kind in Bulgaria, which takes place in this format. For the 12th edition of the Youth Fair the team of the Youth Theater has invited one of the most successful Bulgarians abroad who practice this type of theater - Christian Bakalov, as well as artists from IAC Centro Arti Integrate from Matera (Italy) - the other city which is European Capital of Culture in 2019.
