Second Sunday in August: Navy Day (Bulgaria)

Navy Day is celebrated in Bulgaria every second Sunday of August, marking the culmination of the National Week of the Sea. This holiday commemorates the establishment of the Bulgarian Navy in 1879, beginning with the creation of the Danube Flotilla in Ruse, followed by the formation of the Black Sea Navy in Varna in 1897. The Bulgarian Navy has a rich history, having participated in significant conflicts such as the First and Second Balkan Wars, World War I, and World War II. During the celebrations, events kick off in Ruse, the navy's birthplace, and culminate in Varna. The modern Bulgarian Navy has adapted to meet NATO requirements and consists of deployment and territorial forces, alongside various military naval bases and support units.
