This year’s edition of the Roses of Bulgaria Festival in Sao Paulo will take place at the Immigration Museum on June 14, the team of the Bulgarian School in Sao Paulo said on Facebook. The cultural event is organized by the Bulgarian School in cooperation with the Bulgarian Embassy in Brazil, at the initiative of the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science. 

“We invite all members of the Bulgarian community in Brazil to join us in welcoming and sending off the first graduating class of 2026, who have completed their secondary education. A celebration, a day of Bulgaria in Brazil, that will move you!” the Facebook post reads.

The Roses of Bulgaria Festival was established in 2018. The programme includes musical performances, tastings of traditional Bulgarian cuisine, and concludes with a traditional horo chain dance. 

The Bulgarian School in Sao Paulo is the first Bulgarian school in Brazil and, to date, the only Bulgarian educational centre in South America. It was established in 2009 with the initial aim of offering a Bulgarian language course and educational opportunities to Bulgarians from various waves of emigration, as well as to children from mixed marriages from all states of Brazil and throughout South America. Currently, the school teaches students from pre-school through 12th grade, who are taught Bulgarian language and literature, as well as Bulgarian history and geography, following adapted curricula from the Bulgarian Education Ministry.
