Expect Maitre Gims on the stage of Les Francofolies
Les Francofolies is the biggest international festival of contemporary Francophone music. This year, his fourth edition in Bulgaria will be held in Blagoevgrad on 22 and 23 June. The Le Francofoli World Festival takes place every year in La Rochelle, France, where it manages to gather around 110,000 people, leaving the city's economy above 10 million euros. Until now, besides the annual editions of the festival in France, Le Francofoli is held in Montreal, Canada and also in Spa, Belgium. The festival was also held in New York, Buenos Aires and Berlin.
The entrance to the spectacular event is free of charge. For the first time at the Francofolies concerts there will be a special festival area suitable for accommodating people with mobility impairments and their attendants, identified as access and necessary visibility to the stage. Disabled volunteers will also be available to help with the movement of people with disabilities. The need for an assistant may be pre-ordered at the City Information Center.
