How SARANDA MUSIC FEST 2026 went
Five countries came together in Saranda for an unforgettable international celebration of music, dance and culture, combining festival performances, a 4-star seaside stay and memorable experiences in southern Albania.
SARANDA MUSIC FEST brought international groups together in one of Albania’s most beautiful seaside destinations for several days filled with music, dance, friendship and cultural exchange.
Participants enjoyed their stay at Andon Lapa Hotel, where the festival experience started with a welcome party that gave everyone the chance to meet, share music and dance together.
The official festival programme continued with international performances in Saranda, bringing different cultures together on one stage and creating a lively atmosphere for both participants and visitors.
Beyond the performances, groups also had the opportunity to discover more of southern Albania through optional excursions and cultural experiences. One of the highlights was the possibility to combine the festival with a visit to Corfu, Greece, turning one festival experience into a journey across two countries.
The event concluded with certificates, group photos and one final celebration together — a perfect ending to another international WOFA experience in Saranda.
