Pogradec events

Pogradec has a modest but increasing amount of cultural events every year.

June 21: Lake Days. The municipalities of Pogradec and Ohrid and Struga in Macedonia organize joint events including concerts and exhibitions.
June: Puppet Theatre Festival. For two weeks, puppet troupes from Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia, Italy and other countries compete with each other, entertaining both young and old while they're at it.
December: Wine Festival. Over three days, local wine makers fiercely battle for the first prize in this open-air home-made wine competition. It's cold so it's good that visitors are welcome to have a few sips too, best done with kernacka sausages and other barbecued food.
