The first Astroparty was held in 2005, when it was organized at regional level, but in this year its range has became wider.More and more people show interest in that party. Owing to it a lot of new Astronomy clubs are built up at regional level; the party itself rouses interest in Astronomy as a science and as a subject in school as well. When taking part in the party students get more skills both in theory itself and in making watching experiments of space. They learn how to analize and describe such experiments. These activities are not held at schools competitions in Astronomy. Astroparty contributes to the development of the regional and national policy of the Municipality of Dolna Mitropolia, the Pleven region and Bulgaria.It makes extra-curricular activities more attractive to students and makes the landmarks by the Danube riverside more popular in the region. It&#8217;s included in National calendar for extracurricular activities of Minisrty of education and science for sixth year. Organizers: Ministry of education and science, National palace of children, Regional Centre of Ministry of Education &#8220;\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 Pleven, Municipality of Dolna Mitropolia and Municipal center for extracurricular activities &#8220;\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 Baykal village. Astroparty Baykal is supported by Mrs Polya Tsonovska, the municipality,s mayor.
