Bulgarian Armed Forces Day (Bulgarian: Ден на българските въоръжени сили), also known as the Day of Bravery (Bulgarian: Ден на храбростта) or the Day of Bravery and Holiday of the Bulgarian Army (Bulgarian: Ден на храбростта и празник на Българската армия) is a national holiday celebrated annually on May 6, commemorating the Bulgarian Armed Forces. The event is marked by military parades, fireworks and ceremonies across the country.[1][2] As Armed Forces Day is the national military holiday of Bulgaria the celebrations in Sofia thus serve as a national event to mark the holiday.
