Weekend7–8 November 2026
Saturday and Sunday, 7 and 8 November: jazz downtown, the Levski – CSKA derby, Bach at the Military Club, Cinelibri in six cinemas and a free walk through the city. Tuka picked 21 of the weekend's 288 events.
19:00 · In The Mood Jazz Club · Център
Two sets on Saturday in the smallest jazz club downtown. If you have one weekend and one evening, this is it: a live band, and the standing room is gone before the first note.
10:00 · The mausoleum is the tomb of Prince Alexander I Battenberg · Оборище
Two hours through the centre with a guide, starting at the mausoleum. A good way to show the city to guests.
10:00 · The Lions' Bridge square · Център
A festival for 10 November 1989: an old tram rides the city while inside they tell how socialism ended here. Runs on Sunday too.

The country's main stage. The play is in Bulgarian, and the text is known from the film.
