Christmas celebrations in Tbilisi this year will start at 21 of December, until 14 of January.
This extended holiday schedule means you have extra time to soak in the buzzing atmosphere, watch mind-blowing fireworks, and engage in local traditions like the Alilo procession.
Christmas in Georgia follows the Julian calendar, so Christmas is celebrated on January 7, but New Year’s Eve on December 31 is the major celebration. Tbilisi comes alive with fireworks, festive markets, and vibrant decorations. Expect twinkling lights along Rustaveli Avenue and in Freedom Square, where the Christmas Tree is displayed.
Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze announced the city’s Christmas Villages would open on Saturday on Orbeliani Square and recreational areas of Dedaena Park, offering a variety of New Year’s Eve-themed installations, performances, cultural and sports activities, exhibition pavilions for children, and concerts.
Kaladze said visitors would be also invited to an open-air cinema, a Santa’s house, an elf workshop, an amusement park and an ice rink, as well as an exhibition and sale of handmade items at the latter location.
As a tradition, Tbilisi remains a magical destination for the holidays, with its blend of festive spirit, unique traditions, and warm hospitality.
