This year is the 36th Tbilisoba celebration and it’s the largest annual event held in Georgia’s capital.
The festival was first marked in October 1979 and soon became one of the country's most colourful and spectacular celebrations. Marked as a public holiday, Tbilisoba traditionally attracted thousands of people and hosted all sorts of events from mid-morning until late in the evening.
Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili congratulated Tbilisi locals and guests as the country celebrates the annual Tbilisoba Festival. Today Kvirikashvili visited Rike Park in central Tbilisi, which has transformed into a children’s town for the weekend.
Immense fun, artistic performances, flavoursome wine, delicious food, loud music and folk dances – these are only part of the plethora of attractions Tbilisi is offering today.
The streets of Georgia’s capital are alive this weekend as the city marks Tbilisoba – an annual festival celebrating the vibrant history and cultural diversity of Tbilisi.
The Georgian capital Tbilisi is getting ready for the city’s most colourful and spectacular festival – Tbilisi City Fest, or Tbilisoba - which will take place this weekend.
