- Svoboda Square
Summer in Obzor is for the little ones too. On 21 June at 18:00 Svoboda Square turns into a stage for puppet theatre, and the old tale of the grandfather pulling up a turnip comes to life in front of the children.
What to expect
The show "The Giant Turnip" is staged by the Male Male puppet theatre, directed and designed by Krasi Kirchev. Afterwards the children are invited to a creative workshop, "The Magic of Play", where they can join in themselves. Admission is free.
The tale we all know
"The Giant Turnip" is one of the first stories we hear as children: the grandfather calls the grandmother, the grandmother calls the granddaughter, and so on until their combined effort finally pulls the huge turnip free. A short tale with a simple lesson that always plays out cheerfully on a puppet stage.

About the venue
Svoboda Square
Svoboda Square is the central square of Obzor. Columns from the Roman temple of Jupiter, Templum Iovis, stand on it, and the seaside promenade nearby is closed to cars. Events here happen in the open, with nobody checking tickets at a door, and most of the municipal summer programme is free. The car park on the square itself is by subscription; paid parking is by the Town Hall, along Ribarska Street, next to the Obzor Beach Resort and by the town stadium.
