Postponed Junior Eurovision Opening Ceremony Due on November 17

The postponed Opening Ceremony of Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015 will take place this Tuesday in Bulgaria's capital Sofia, after having been postponed over the Paris attacks of last week.

The event will be held at the Bulgarian National Palace of Culture (NDK) in Sofia at 19:30 (local time).

The participants, representing 17 European countries, will walk the red carpet while doing short interviews and posing for pictures before entering the hall.

Joanna Dragneva, Bulgarian singer and participant in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, will be the host of the ceremony. Bulgarian public broadcaster BNT will live stream the event, which will end at 22:00 with fireworks.

The TV station decided to postpone the Opening Ceremony, initially scheduled for November 15, in order to honour France's three-days national mourning after Paris attacks on Friday, November 13.

Junior Eurovision 2015 will take place on Saturday, November 21, in the Arena Armeec sports hall in Sofia. The show will start at 19:30 local time and will be broadcasted live in all the participating states.
