Gandagana: A Journey Through Adjara Without Leaving the City
The rural tourism festival "Gandagana" is one of the most appealing cultural events for international visitors, bringing the culture of the region's highland villages to life right in downtown Batumi. This year, the festival will take place on November 14–15 on Europe Square with free admission.
One of the most impressive venues will be an Adjarian village themed space created by Gardenia Shevardnadze, featuring specially designed decor showcasing authentic Adjarian daily life and the traditions unique to mountain culture.
The festival will feature gastronomic zones serving specialties from all five Adjarian municipalities, alongside workshops and contests in pottery, embroidery, and culinary arts.
One of the most vibrant highlights of the festival will be an open-air market where approximately 200 local and visiting entrepreneurs will showcase handmade crafts, farm products, and traditional dishes. A festive atmosphere will be created by local and visiting folklore ensembles and music bands.
The Gandagana rural tourism festival has been held since 2015, organized by the Tourism Product Development Agency of the Department of Tourism and Resorts of Adjara.
