Bulgarian folk festival features stilt performers in Lyaskovets

Two people wearing traditional-style costumes walk on stilts, holding hands, in a dirt clearing surrounded by trees and other people. The person on the left has long hair and a beard, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a red sash. The person on the right has dark hair pulled back, wearing a white dress with a red panel in the front. Both have elaborate bindings attaching the stilts to their legs. A white tent, bundles of reeds, and other people are visible in the background.

On a dirt road in Lyaskovets, Bulgaria, stand two people on stilts. A man is on stilts wearing black pants, a white shirt, and a black vest. A woman is on stilts wearing a white dress with a red sash. A young girl is standing nearby wearing a pink jacket. A crowd of people are in the area. A food vendor is on the left side of the road. Trees are in the background. A cloudy sky is overhead.

The image captures a group of four people at an outdoor event in Lyaskovets, Bulgaria. A male stilt walker with a beard, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a red sash, extends his hand to a woman in a black leather jacket. She is holding a yellow bag. A man in a red shirt and dark jacket is sandwiched between the woman and another person in a white shirt. The man in the red shirt holds a plastic cup and makes a peace sign. In the background is some greenery and an event tent with banners. A barrel is visible. The surface beneath the group appears to be asphalt. A black dumpster with the word "OTIS" on it is visible to the side. Overhead are tree branches and power lines. The sky is overcast.

A life-size ram statue sits in an outdoor park, presumably the city of Lyaskovets, Bulgaria. The ram statue is fabricated of grey and beige materials, with large curved horns. A dark sign with white text in Cyrillic script is attached to the right side of the statue. In the background, trees and a walking path are visible. Some people can be seen in the distance.
