International Folklore Festival "Sea of Rhythms" 

The International Folklore Festival "Sea of Rhythms" is the grand finale of the cultural calendar of the town of Balchik—an event dedicated to Bulgarian traditions, authentic folklore, and the living connection between generations.

The main mission of the International Folklore Festival "Sea of Rhythms" is to gather, preserve, and pass on Bulgaria's folklore heritage to future generations, transforming it into a vibrant and shared experience.

As a competitive stage, the festival encourages performers to develop their talent, strive for excellence, and showcase the very best of the Bulgarian folklore tradition. It creates a space where dedication, ambition, creativity, and recognition come together.

The festival is organized by the non-profit association "For Balchik 2023" with the exceptional support of the Municipality of Balchik, under the patronage of Nikolay Angelov, and with the assistance of partners and sponsors.
