12 community centers from Tervel municipality took part in the "White Harvest". Bulgarian folk dance clubs showed their art. The orchestras "Izvor" and "Dobrudzhantsi" also took care for the good mood of everyone.
The ritual harvesting was entrusted to the Dobrudzhantsi Club, headed by Nelly Deneva. 90 people in traditional costumes presented it, and finally all the participants joined a big dance around the place where the ritual fire was later lit.
The mayor of Tervel Municipality eng. Simeon Simeonov and the resigned Minister of Agriculture Dr. Ivan Ivanov delivered a special speech at the event. A holy liturgy was celebrated for health, a good harvest and prosperity.
Every year the picture of the White Harvest is unique. People sit on the ground on colorful rugs, each of them is dressed in national costume or has an element of the ornaments and folklore motifs inherent in the Bulgarians in this area. A very natural environment is created.
The idea is to gather generations of Dobrudzha residents and pay tribute to farmers, who are also the main sponsors to the festival.
