- Wine, supra vibes and tastings — Georgia is basically a wine country with history; during Tbilisoba you get to sample small producers, traditional qvevri wines and local chacha, and feel the whole city turn into one big tasting room. It’s loud, warm and very communal — expect to be roped into a toast led by a tamada. (Personal favorite.)
- Polyphonic singing and folk dance — massed choirs, small street ensembles and powerful dance troupes pop up everywhere. Georgian polyphony has a unique, spine-tingling harmony; seeing dancers in traditional dress leap and spin in open squares is the kind of live energy you don’t forget.
- Old Tbilisi atmosphere and neighborhood parades — the festival plays out in the city’s winding streets and courtyards, not just on big stages. Costumed processions, decorated

- Old Tbilisi atmosphere and neighborhood parades — the festival plays out in the city’s winding streets and courtyards, not just on big stages. Costumed processions, decorated balconies and impromptu performances make wandering aimless and hungry a joy: every corner has a little show or smell of something delicious.
- Food stalls and regional specialties — think khachapuri, juicy khinkali, churchkhela and lots of regional cheeses and preserves. Vendors and pop-up kitchens let you try dishes from all over Georgia without leaving the city; it’s a cheap, tasty way to map the country by bite.
- Handicrafts, workshops and live making — craftsmen set up stalls and demo stations: pottery, enamel, woodwork, textiles and traditional icon-makers. You can buy real, usable souvenirs or join a short workshop and walk away with something you made yourself — much better than a generic magnet.
