    FIRST FLOWERS FESTIVAL IN VRATSA CELEBRATES SPRING AND ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

    The first Flowers festival was organized in Vratsa during Easter time this year. The event involved over 20 florists from all over the country. The entire city was transformed with stunning flower-based decorations and installations, creating a colourful and joyful atmosphere in every corner. Streets, parks, and public spaces were adorned with beautiful floral arrangements, bringing the essence of spring to life. The city, usually known for its scenic beauty, became a living canvas, where each decoration was a reminder of nature’s fragility and the need to protect it.
