The festival served as a vibrant meeting point for the Albanian community and international friends, offering a rich cultural experience filled with colors, flavors, and heartfelt moments. The event featured:

-Authentic Albanian cuisine
-Traditional products and artisanal crafts
-Folk costumes
-Activities and initiatives of Albanian associations in Greece

The Embassy of the Republic of Albania in Athens was represented by Ms. Joneda Dodaj, Diplomat for Diaspora Affairs, who addressed the audience and commended the organizers for their valuable contribution to promoting Albanian cultural heritage abroad. She emphasized the Embassy’s continued support for all initiatives that strengthen cultural identity and foster deeper ties between the Albanian diaspora and their homeland.

“Preserving tradition is a bridge that connects us to our roots. Festivals like this are more than celebrations – they are a living expression of the Albanian spirit,” stated Ms. Dodaj.
