Georgia's Cultural Calendar 2025: Where to Go and What Not to Miss

Georgia is not only about mountains, wine, and khachapuri. It’s a country where culture resonates in every alley, on every stage, and in every glass of wine. Here, traditions aren’t gathering dust in museums — they live, sing, play, dance, and inspire.

Theater and Cinema: From Classics to Bold Forms

In Georgia, theater is always about emotion and the search for something new:

• Ballet Giselle at the Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theatre — a meeting with timeless classics.

• Theatrical experiments — performances where stage and technology merge into one.

• Film festivals — from cult retrospectives to arthouse cinema with discussions and live dialogue with directors.

Modern Georgian theater and cinema inspire, surprise, and make you think. Here, art is a dialogue with the audience, not a monologue from the stage.

Exhibitions and Gastronomy: Food as Art

Do you enjoy art through sight and taste? Then this is for you:

• Art exhibitions — from traditional Georgian painting to modern art, photography, and sculpture. Often held in historic mansions and unique spaces.

• Wine and culinary festivals — the perfect blend of taste, tradition, and discovery. Tastings of local wines, chef masterclasses, and artisan product markets await in Tbilisi, Telavi, Kutaisi, and beyond.

• Chacha and Cheese Festival — for the boldest gourmets! Fun, loud, tasty, and very Georgian.

Culture in Georgia is not only about the stage, but also about the table. Here, every event becomes a celebration where music mixes with aromas, and experiences — with genuine emotions.

Music, theater, cinema, exhibitions, gastronomy — all of this creates the heartbeat of modern Georgia. With YOLO, you won’t miss a single bright moment. Dive into the atmosphere of creativity and inspiration — make 2025 rich and unforgettable.
