General Toshevo turned into a purple oasis again during the Lavender Festival (VIDEO)
The eighth edition of the Lavender Festival took place at the end of last week in General Toshevo. The event is traditionally held at the height of the mass harvest of the essential oil crop in the region.
In the early morning of July 2, the Tourist Association "Dobrudzhanets" made its traditional march to a lavender field, where the participants of the march were welcomed with lavender lemonade and a specially designated corner with a photo frame. The tourists then continued to one of the distilleries in town. There they were introduced to the secrets of lavender oil extraction.
At the same time, a lavender markt was arranged on the "White Swallow" square, where producers offered their products created by the aromatic culture - soaps, aromatic waters, perfumes, candles, souvenirs and much more.
This year, the guests of the festival could also look at dozens of rare retro cars, which the Collectors' Club in the city of Dobrich had lined up in the parking lot in front of the square. Mandatory Lavender Festival events for children were held with great interest.
During the two festive days, chef Stiliyan and chef Kaloyan, participants of the popular MasterChef show, created culinary masterpieces in a specially designated place. The music program of the festival ended with a concert by Veselin Marinov.
At the end of June, the mass harvest of the essential oil crop in the region began. This year, unlike the last two or three, the production is good, and the amount of oil obtained from a hectare of lavender varies between 10 and 12 kilograms.
