The biggest cultural phenomenon in Macedonia. A festivity which, for half a century, establishes connection between the most important worldly cultural values and those of the Macedonian culture. Stars such as the Spanish Tenor Jose Carreras, the film composer Ennio Morricone, soprano Inva Mula, as well as performers of Russian opera and ballet and world-famous theatrical performances and drama ensembles have performed on the ancient theater Lychnidos, the cathedral church of Sts. Sofia, Samuel’s Fort, and Plaoshnik. Summer is a period when almost the entire Macedonian cultural scene pulsates in accordance with the rhythm of the Macedonian capital of civilization - Ohrid.
