“At the festival around 5 – 6 000 people attend the live performances every evening. The seats are limited, but not the standing places. I hope that in the coming years we will generate a total audience of around 2 – 3 million people. In Bansko there is a constantly improving atmosphere of friendship and hospitality. In the city they open new establishments, hotels and increase the level of service”, Dr. Iliev said before presenting the program highlights of the 22nd festival, which will take place at Nikola Vaptsarov Square free of charge.
