The Day of Roses in Karlovo is celebrated on the first Saturday of June. Then Karlovo becomes the capital of the most beautiful and fragrant flower – the rose. It is an opportunity to show the beauty of the regional heritage.The holiday begins with the ‘Rose picking’ ritual in the rose fields near the city. Later the celebration moves from the rose gardens to the central square in Karlovo where young lads carry the Queen of Roses on their hands. Also there are typical for the region singers, musicians and dancers. The folklore part of the celebration ends with a winding dance called ‘horo’. The final concert in the evening is accompanied by magnificent fireworks.
