The national competition for fun song “Burgas and the sea” dates back to 1973, when it was organized for the first time under the name “Songs about Burgas, the sea and its working people” by the Burgas orchestra in the summer theater of the city. After 13 editions it briefly ceased to exist. It was restored in 1996 under the name “Burgas and the Sea” by the group “Hot Sand” and has been held every year since.
12 of the songs sent for participation in the new edition of “Burgas and the Sea” were selected by the selection committee to hear them from the stage of the Summer Theater. The finalists will compete for the festival awards
