Nearly 200 interesting exhibitions and satellite events are welcoming visitors to the biggest nocturnal celebration of the arts in the City of the Seven Hills. Last year the event was visited by twenty thousand people. Owing to the great variety of theater, literature, music, visual arts and fashion events everybody can live through a night adventure suited to his/her taste. There is no age restriction.
Besides the traditional hosts that keep the fire of the Museum Night burning every year, the visitors’ route now includes some unusual stops – several music nightclubs, city squares, parking lots, backyards ... The two theaters, the open-air cinema and a community centre will not go to sleep. Starting from the top of the hill on which Old Plovdiv is situated and all the way to the Central Post Office square, there will be art waiting for you at every corner.
