Byala Municipality, Community Cultural Center "Probuda 1928"

The Community Cultural Center "Probuda 1928" fulfills several functions at once, such as a community center, library, and a mediator between the Municipality and the citizens of the town. It is also a common non-formal educational institution, where people of all ages can enroll in folk dance classes, foreign language, music, and other courses.
Curious fact is that the Bulgarian Community Cultural Centers (Bulgarian: chitalishte) were selected in 2017 for the UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in the category Good Safeguarding Practices
