Korça Beer Fest Returns with a Bang: Celebrating Brews, Tradition, and Culture

The Korça Beer Fest has returned in full force after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 15th edition of this well-established local tradition, the only major festival celebrating Albanian beer brands, drew an unexpectedly large crowd this year.

TID Korça and the Old Bazaar warmly welcomed guests from across Albania and around the world, offering them a taste of the vibrant artistic scene and renowned hospitality for which Korça is known. The city has a rich history of beer production in Albania, with Birra Korça being one of the oldest and most renowned beer brands in the country, often regarded as the first Albanian beer. Every year, the Korça Beer Fest unites people who share a passion for beer, music, and a zest for life.

There is something enchanting about a beer festival in a city like Korça, steeped in traditions of art, culture, and serenades. The timeless charm of the meticulously reconstructed Old Bazaar and the city center’s pedestrian zone provided the perfect backdrop for an event that is poised to become a cherished national tradition.
