About the event

Tbilisoba is the main, most colorful, and long-awaited citywide festival of Georgia's capital. Traditionally held on the first weekend of October, it marks the end of the grape harvest (Rtveli) and celebrates the centuries-old history, distinctive culture, and legendary hospitality of Tbilisi.

What awaits festival guests:

Traditional grape stomping (Satsnakheli): In the historical part of the city, ancient wooden wine presses are installed, where anyone can see how authentic Georgian wine has been made for centuries and taste freshly squeezed grape juice and young wine (machari).

Gastronomic paradise and farmers' markets: Streets fill with the aromas of sizzling mtsvadi (shashlik), freshly baked shoti bread, and hot khachapuri. Farmers from all corners of Georgia bring homemade cheeses (suluguni, Imeretian, guda), mountain honey, dried fruits, nuts, and fresh churchkhela.

Live music and polyphony: On numerous open stages, famous Georgian polyphonic singing resounds, featuring folk ensembles, dance groups, and contemporary musicians.

Master and crafts fair: Artists, ceramicists, and jewelers from across the country present authentic souvenirs, handmade clay pottery, cloisonné enamel jewelry (minankari), and woven carpets.

Key festival locations:

Rike Park: The epicenter of gastronomy, grand evening concerts, and interactive children's areas.

Orbeliani Square: Themed historical pavilions, vintage installations, and artisan fair.

Abanotubani and Leghvtakhevi Gorge: The unique atmosphere of Old Town, exhibitions of national costumes, and picturesque photo zones.
