We have not confirmed opening hours, prices or access details yet. The official website is the best place to check.
How we checked
Last checked October 17, 2026 against surva.org. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The official festival site surva.org was fetched and shows the 2026 edition (16 January 2026 opening news, parade days 17–18 and 24–25 January) and the Municipality of Pernik as responsible organizer. No 2027 dates were found on an official source, so the next edition is recorded as tba; unofficial pages disagree on the 2027 dates and were not used.
