The Zheja Festival in Kurbin

Zheja, Kurbin – June 11, 2025

A day filled with colors, tradition, and flavors!

The Zheja Festival returned again this year, through the initiative of local actors and with broad community participation. An event that brought attention to the cultural values of the area, through music, dances, traditional clothing, and rich culinary heritage.

ALCDF is proud to have been part of supporting the strengthening of local identity and promoting the cultural heritage of this wonderful region.

Special thanks to the organizers and to all those who contributed to this beautiful festival – a living example of the power of community and our cultural wealth! This activity was implemented within the framework of the project "Timeless Flavors: Enjoy the dishes, products, and ballads of Kurbin" financed by the European Union (EU) under the EU4Culture program, and implemented by ALCDF.
