Kumbaro said that with this festival, there is being created a beautiful tradition that started yesterday and will continue for five consecutive nights, with folklore groups from Albania and Kosovo.

“Memaliaj, by the Vjosa River, is no longer a shadow town by the side of the road, but a town where Memaliaj people have started to give their houses on rent for the tourists and build agri-tourism for visitors who travel throughout the region and move from one city to another, from Gjirokastra, Libohova and Dropulli, in Përmet, Këlcyre, Tepelena and now also in Memaliaj, to enjoy the best of cuisine, history, warm hospitality and incomparable nature”, said Kumbaro.
