On the open stage in the "Church" neighborhood of Perni, people with disabilities from all over the country sang, danced, recited and presented customs characteristic of the various Bulgarian regions.
In addition to the performances on stage, the festival also includes a national exhibition under the motto "Victory of spirit and dexterity".
