In the village of Jalovik Izvor, 40 km from Knjaževac, under the Stara planina, every year on the Blessed Virgin Mary (August 28), the “Panajur Assembly” is held, an event dedicated to the traditional folk songs and dances. Singers, accordionists, flutes, bagpipers, and trumpeters show their talent here. The beauty of the Assembly is chosen and in the end a circle of dancers or “kolo” of 1000 dancers is formed. The festival is an opportunity too hear the sounds of forgotten traditional music, but also to enjoy the beauty of untouched nature and clean air.
