About this event
The Gala in Sofia festival opens with French DJ Charles B playing the square in front of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, a set built to fill one of the largest open spaces in the city. This opening night is the free one: the later gala evenings on the same square are ticketed, so 23 August is the date to put in the diary.
Why we picked it
A large open-air set in Sofia's most recognisable public space, and the only free night of an otherwise ticketed festival.
Free entry
Listing states 'Вход свободен' (free entry), no ticket purchase required. Note: the 25 and 27 August gala evenings on the same square are TICKETED via kupibileti.bg and are excluded.
