Balkan Festival of Love and Wine to be held in Bulgaria's Vidin


The city of Vidin, situated on the Danube riverbank, will host Balkan Festival of Love and Wine on February 14 2007.

The festival will combine the celebrations of two holidays, local St Trifon Zarezan and international St. Valentine's day, Bulgarian news agency BTA said.

St Trifon Zarezan's day is dedicated to vine growing and wine making, as St Trifon is considered guardian of the vineyards.

Participants from Serbia, Romania, Turkey and Bulgaria will take part in the festival.

A Best Balkan Wine competition was among the festival's main attractions, BTA said. A separate contest for home-made wine would also be held.

St Valentine's day will be commemorated with a Longest Kiss contest. The competitors will kiss to win a weekend for two in a Bulgarian resort.

Regional cuisine tasting, mummer dance show, folk and pop performances were also included in the programme of the festival, BTA said.
