MICROFEST, presented by Capturing Creativity

We’ve been celebrating annually in autumnal Gabrovo since 2023

Launched in 2023, this is the format where we meet you in person to celebrate together — simply because we exist! We do it with a one-day event in autumnal Gabrovo — the place where our roots lie. The support we receive from the people of Gabrovo is vital to us, just as important as being part of the cultural movement that flows from the capital to every corner of the country.
The multifaceted experience we call a microfest offers an exclusive mix of visual art, music, and social connection in unconventional locations — with a distinctly Gabrovo touch that emphasizes clever reuse of materials, the DIY spirit, and a grassroots mindset. Beyond the live experience, we also create a detailed online archive with texts, photos, and videos — to leave our mark in history with style.

Work and creativity are in full swing for the upcoming 2026 Autumn Microfest. While we prepare the next edition, take a look at the archive from our previous events.
