Two nations, one community.
Better together!
Welcome to
Bulgarian American Heritage Center & Library
"Magura" draws its name from one of Bulgaria’s oldest cultural sanctuaries — a cave whose walls tell the stories of those who came before us, with an open entrance welcoming all to gather, create, and celebrate life. This spirit inspired our name, a reminder that culture thrives wherever people meet with open hearts.
Our Mission
MAGURA Cultural Center is devoted to celebrating and sharing Bulgarian culture, arts, and heritage with the Bulgarian American community in Chicago.
Through our programs, we unite tradition and creativity—bridging generations, fostering cultural exchange, and giving Bulgarian voices a platform abroad. Our diverse initiatives offer opportunities to learn, engage, and experience Bulgarian culture in a modern and accessible way.
