In honor of St. Nicholas Day, the Varna Tourist Chamber hosted the 12th edition of the culinary festival "Let’s Share St. Nicholas Day".
Supported by Varna Municipality and a number of partners, the event brought together students, college trainees, and professional chefs in a celebration of culinary art and community spirit.
Participants from over nine schools and two colleges, alongside chefs from leading restaurants, showcased their creations – from exquisite fish dishes and gourmet specialties to tempting desserts.
The festival stood out not only for its culinary competition, but also for its charitable mission. Proceeds from the festival’s bazaar will be donated to the Association for the Support of People with Intellectual Disabilities.
Special awards and recognitions were presented in various categories. Sunny Day Resort proudly contributed to nurturing young talent by donating an electric slicer and a professional chef’s knife to the Aleko Konstantinov Vocational School of Tourism and Food Technologies in Targovishte.
The festival reaffirmed its role as a bridge between business and education, promoting collaboration and supporting the growth of professionalism in the tourism and hospitality industry.
