From August 1 to 6, 2026, Kobuleti and Batumi will turn into a stage for the international festival competition “Art Folk Fest 2026”, bringing together folklore ensembles and performers from around the world. The event promises a dynamic program where traditions, music, and dance meet in a vibrant cultural atmosphere.

Located on the Black Sea coast, Kobuleti and Batumi offer an attractive mix of seaside landscapes, modern atmosphere, and distinctive Georgian charm. This setting transforms the festival into not just a stage for art, but a complete experience for all participants.

During the festival, participants will perform in categories such as folk dances, songs, and crafts, with the option to present live or recorded performances. The best acts will advance to the final gala concert, which will highlight the strongest moments of the program.

“Art Folk Fest 2026” is a platform for exchanging ideas, inspiration, and building new creative connections, where different cultures meet and enrich one another.

The organizers invite all ensembles and performers to submit their applications and become part of this international cultural experience.
