       Annual Rose Festival, Kazanlak
        
       
        The Bulgarian rose production is popularised every year during the Festival of Roses. This festival of the roses originates from the celebrations held at the beginning of the rose-harvesting period at which the manufacturers from the whole valley sang and danced, dressed up in rose flowers, together with masked dancers called koukeri. 
 
Most intersting now are the electing of Queen Rose, the harvesting ritual in the rose gardens and the parade along the streets of the town.
