Celebrating the Independence day

This is one of the most important celebrations in our country. In 1908 Ferdinad signed the manifest for the independence in Veliko Turnovo in St, Forty Martyrs Church. Every year there are big celebrations which starts early in the morning and continue the whole day. In the morning the events happened in the church where the manifest was signed and then moved to the Tsarevets forecast – the capital of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom. During the day there was a parade to the center of the town where wreaths and flowers were given to the monument of Mother Bulgaria and where there were concerts and performances. In the late afternoon there was an attempt for a record for the longest horo which was also a part of the application of Veliko Turnovo for European capital of culture for 2019. Me and some of my schoolmates decided to take part in this event and to support our town. The music was very popular and we all knew the dance except the foreign girls – Amy from the USA and Demy – from the UK. Although we didn’t manage to break the Guinness record we had a lot of fun together and had the opportunity to participate in this important for our town inciative.
