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.

Every year Marmara Tourism and Folkdance Research Association (TUFAD) organizes a festival for cultural exchange, improving friendship and mostly for contributing to the world peace. This year's festival will include children between 8 and 14.
The Festival starts on 1st June 2005 and ends on 6th June 2005. The member of our association will be happy to have the children from all around the world participating TUFAD International Festival of Children that will be held in Istanbul in June.
