6Fest Street Arts Festival in Plovdiv is in full swing

Street artists from 11 countries across 3 continents have arrived in Plovdiv for the International Street Arts Festival 6Fest. Over the course of one week – until 26 April 2026 – participants will transform open urban spaces into stages for exciting encounters with art – including circus, dance, music, acrobatics, stilt walking and living statues. Admission to all events is free.

For the seventh consecutive year, the festival is part of Plovdiv’s Cultural Events Calendar and is being held with the financial support of the Municipality of Plovdiv and the National Culture Fund.

Over the weekend, on April 25 and 26, the audience will have the opportunity to see the performance “Sirens of the Sky” by Frantastica (Netherlands), in which stilt performers will recreate the siren creatures from Greek mythology.

The final festival day, 26 April, begins with the participation of Dizzy Grooves & Foli Ba (Bulgaria), who will present the interactive musical performance “When the Drum Speaks”, inspired by the ancient cultures of West Africa.
