About the event

The 2025 edition of the Jurilovca Lipov Slovene Borsh Festival is cancelled

In the context of austerity measures and the attempt to reduce spending in all areas, the Jurilovca Town Hall announces that this year's edition of the Jurilovca Lipovenesc Borscht Festival will be suspended.

We make this announcement with regret, but with the utmost responsibility.

The Lipovenesc Borscht Festival is and will remain an important driving force for the promotion of our locality, of the traditions so loved by locals and tourists and we guarantee that we will do our best to find sources of funding for the coming years.

Event Programme: Lipov Slovene Borsh Festival suspended

"It was an extremely difficult decision for me. We have grown the festival from 200 participants in 2009 for the first edition to more than 150,000 participants in 2024, with a lot of hard work and a lot of sacrifices. What's more, the festival is no longer just a means to promote the area, but also a real economic driver, especially for the people in our small community.

However, if suspending this year's edition of the Jurilovca Lviv Borsh Festival can contribute to a return to low VAT for food and tourism, if we can contribute to not taxing mothers and pensioners any more, if we make it easier to get out of the budget crisis, we will make this sacrifice with a slightly lighter heart.

We will now start looking for sponsors and other sources of private funding for next year's edition. We can suspend an edition, it has already happened during the pandemic, but under no circumstances can we give up on an event that has already become a symbol of North Dobrogea!" said Eugen Ion, mayor of Jurilovca.
