It is a fantastic environment, a fantastic atmosphere. People have come with a lot of desire to celebrate together and enjoy these wonderful moments. We are in the heart of Myzeqe, in the heart of the place where wheat is produced, so I believe that all this celebration we are having is a continuation of all those celebrations that we have organized other times to promote customs, traditions, customs, cuisine, the special things that each area has and to do what we all intend to do, to make our city more and more livable and pleasant for all people” said Subashi.

Visitors to Apollonia enjoyed last night this holiday that came as a combination of folklore with demonstrations of agricultural mechanics, with fairs of wheat and bread products.
