Fiestalonia - festivals and competitions

We are delighted to invite you to a truly unique choir festival and competition, Sing and Smile, which will take place in Georgia from 20 to 25 of October 2026. This competition offers much more than just a chance to perform on stage — it is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the spiritual and cultural atmosphere of Georgia's ancient heritage. During the festival, participants will be able to enjoy the extraordinary acoustics of medieval Georgian churches, where you will have the opportunity to perform your music in these historic shrines, which are part of the country's cultural heritage. Singing in such sacred places creates a powerful artistic moment, connecting performers with centuries of history, traditions and sounds. The programme also includes an introduction to authentic places, traditions and the legendary hospitality of Georgia. Participants will enjoy local wine tastings, unique gastronomic experiences and a special lunch accompanied by a live performance by a Georgian choir, which will introduce you to the country's vibrant musical culture. Georgia is a country that can be described endlessly, but cannot be fully understood in one visit. You will gain something even more valuable — a first acquaintance with a land whose beauty remains in your heart and draws you back again and again. From the austere grandeur of mountain temples to the cosy taverns of old Tbilisi, from vibrant dance traditions to the mesmerizing sounds of ancient polyphonic singing, Georgia reveals a culture unlike any other. We cordially invite choirs and ensembles to take part in this unforgettable artistic journey and share their music in one of the most inspiring places in the world. We look forward to seeing you in Georgia!
