AUBG Mega Reunion 2020
April 23rd - 26th, 2020 @ Blagoevgrad
Bringing together classmates, friends and events, popular parties and entertainment all in one location for an extended weekend
Dear all,
In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic boom we have been experiencing over the past weeks and the state of emergency declared in Bulgaria, the organizational team and AUBG decided to postpone the Mega Reunion 2020. We are currently working on the exact dates. Hopefully we will see you this September. For those who have purchased a package – it will be valid for the postponed event. In case you know you cannot make it in the fall; we can either refund you or you can donate the money to the AUBG Pledge*.
We make this announcement with great regret but understanding and confidence for better days ahead of us all.
Stay healthy,
AUBG Mega Reunion team
Join us for the 25th AUBG Anniversary in Blagoevgrad!
One Unique MEGA Event for the entire AUBG family!
First 25 years are gone, there are many more to come!
25 years ago, the first AUBG class graduated the place that would become the one to meet friends, party wild, sometimes study, drink like crazy, have fun and build memories for 24 more classes to come until this year we can celebrate the BIG 25!
It is going to be huge…, no, scratch that, it is going to be MASSIVE! 25 years of classes coming back to AUBG! There will be a rich and exclusive program for all AUBG Alumni: More-Honors, Alumni Challenge, Musical Performances, Underground parties, Outdoor activities and more! All these packed into only four days: April 23rd to 26th, 2020.
Proud beer provider
Burgasko is a light Bulgarian beer with 4,4% ABV originally made in the seaside city of Burgas (Bulgarian: Бургаско пиво). It was established back in 1971 and for many years it was a regional brand, sold only at the south Bulgarian coast-line. From 2015 the brand is available nationally. For many people the brand has become a symbol of the carefree summer moments at the sea.

MEGA Advisor
Anguel Anguelov - Mostuna graduated a long time ago, but never really stopped being present in the AUBG ambience. His character is considered obnoxious, although mostly cool. Flamboyant by actions, “slender” in shape, and soulful by music, Mostun is always ready to crash a party, a wedding, AUBG board meeting, or a show. He was also the lead organizer of the first two Mega Reunions in 2005 and in 2015.

I graduated AUBG in 2000 with one of the biggest and maybe at that time most vibrant classes! I am the Treasurer of AAA since 2018 and I am extremely happy to have taken part in really transformational times for the university! We, at AAA, have decided to organize the MEGA Reunion event to celebrate the new era for the university and to gather the energy of all generations to push our favorite alma mater forward! I am really excited and proud to be part of the organizational team for the Mega reunion and I will be extremely glad to welcome all of my classmates and those after us back in Blago! Join us!
