Sofia Breathes

The Sofia Breathes urban culture festival will surprise its guests this August as organizers say its latest edition will be held on different streets than those used before.

Young Bulgarian writers will be the focus of the third Sunday of the Sofia Breathes annual festival, the event's organizers have said.

Starting 16h on August 16, the downtown Angel Kanchev Street (the section between Solunska Str and Patriarh Evtimiy Blvd) will be closed to traffic.

For a sixth year in a row August will be marked by the Sofia Breathes urban culture festival.

In separate events due every Sunday of the month, the streets where the festival will take place will be closed to traffic to give way to pedestrians, art performances, and vendor stalls offering food, beverages, and handicraft items.

On Sunday, August 3, and on the following Sundays until the end of the month, different streets in downtown Sofia will be closed for vehicles under the 'Sofia Breathes' project.
