Midalidare Rock
Midalidare Rock In The Wine Valley , better known as Midalidare Rock , is an international rock festival held annually in the village of Mogilovo. Combining music, wine and nature, the festival is distinguished by its unique location and family atmosphere.
The idea fwas born in 2016 as a continuation of the successful holding of the International 3D Street Painting Festival. Midaldidare chose the rock and metal scene as an expression of the spirit of the community and the winery team.
The event is a family-oriented and offers not only music, but also a rich accompanying program – games, football and backgammon tournaments, bike rides, children's theater, cinema under the stars, book presentations, wine cources and meet & greets with the artists.
Camping and camper areas are being built on the territory of the village of Mogilovo, allowing visitors to settle in before the start of the festival and immerse themselves in its atmosphere days before the first concert.
Midalidare Rock is attracting thousands of international visitors and actively supports local artists through a second stage for Bulgarian and regional bands.
The main festival message is: "Rock, wine, and community".
