Each year in the second week of April, a carnival celebration takes place in the area. Festivities include concerts, an ethno-gastronomic fair, games, visits and public awareness events. Among the objectives of the carnival are the promotion of the historical and cultural values of the area and the support for the protection and conservation of the environment, especially in view of possible threats by future development projects. The festivities are organised by the Vlora City District Council, in cooperation with active organisation and local authorities and are supported by local NGOs, the Chamber of Commerce and the religious community.
