The
tradition is that you get up - or, more likely - stay up to watch the sunrise
on the first of July. It’s a celebration of the summer, a kind of hippie thing that
takes its name from the 1971 Uriah Heep song which became popular here in the
80s, possibly as a protest by young people against Communism. It happens
everywhere but is mainly focused on the Black Sea coast which is the most eastern
part of Bulgaria. There are concerts, parties, camping and beach events but
nothing officially organised or commercialised, it’s very much a people’s thing.
