December is already here, and it’s only fair to say…it\u2019s one of the best months to be in Albania. The lights go up, the city gets all cosy, everyone slows down just enough to enjoy family time, food, and all the festive chaos we secretly love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s so much going on. Concerts, markets, meet-ups, cultural nights. December here is anything but boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make things easier, I put together a list of the best events happening this month in Tirana, so you can skip the search and jump straight to the fun. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Christmas Markets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Christmas markets are now an annual tradition that gathers people together and brings a cosy, festive atmosphere to town. Having hot cocoa in the main plaza, the Skanderbeg Square, taking pictures near the Christmas tree, and searching for gifts among the classic wooden stalls has become a December tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n

People love this time of the year. It’s filled with so much joy, movement, and excitement. From December to January, the city transforms into a real-life fairytale that you have to experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Closing Concert of National Cultural Week (5 Dec)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like to experience Albanian vocal music in a more refined, cultural setting, this is a beautiful event to add to your December plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Cultural Week comes to a close on December 5th with a special concert held at the foyer of the National Opera and Ballet Theatre in Tirana (TKOBAP). The evening will feature the vocal ensemble \u201cZanat\u201d<\/a>, bringing together powerful female voices from the Albanian-speaking world.

4. Tirana Dance Experiences (5-7 Dec)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tirana Dance Experience<\/a> is one of the most exciting events happening in the city this December, at Te Stela resort.

6. Readers\u2019 Theatre Night at Bitter Bistro (14 Dec)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A different kind of evening, something cozy, creative, and a little unusual… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
