Etara is a place where we do not only preserve the folk tradition, but also provide for visitors the opportunity to experience them, touched by the ancient flavor of folklore, feeling a real Bulgaria.
On St. George's day (6-th of May) the museum meets the day decorated with beech sprig, as is the old Bulgarian tradition. On this day rituals and customs are reproduced, connected with the coming of spring and the rebirth of nature.
Also full of joy is the greatest summer holiday - Enyovden (Midsummer Day). Everyone can go through the wreath for health. All day the air in the museum is sweet with the odour of the herbs and visitors can learn more about their medicinal properties and meet and talk to famous herbalists and healers.
Craftsmen from all over the country and other European open-air museums gather for the Autumn International Crafts fair in September to show their skills.
Visitors of the museum can see the periodically changed exhibitions of both Bulgarian and foreign exhibitors throughout the year. The permanent expositions and the restored celebrations of festivals make one touch upon the traditions and life of old Bulgarian mountain-dwellers from the time of the Revival.
