July 01

International Tartan Day recognizes the enduring legacy of Scottish culture and its influence globally. Originally established in North America, the day features parades, highland games, and gathering of clan societies. Participants wear kilts and tartan accessories, while events highlight traditional music, dance, and storytelling. Tartan-weaving exhibitions and genealogy workshops explore Scottish ancestry. The celebration fosters cultural exchange and appreciation of the artistry behind tartan patterns.

July Morning originated in the 1970s as a celebration inspired by the Uriah Heep song of the same name. Enthusiasts camp along the beaches of Bulgaria to greet the sunrise on July 1 with live rock performances, campfires, and communal singing. Over the years, it has grown into a cultural phenomenon that attracts locals and tourists alike. The event celebrates freedom, youth, and the spirit of summer. Vendors offer local foods and crafts, creating a festive seaside atmosphere.
