The “Zambaku i Prizrenit” civic song festival, founded in 1986 in Prizren, will mark its 36th edition this year on September 26.

Considered one of Kosovo’s most important cultural events, the festival has played a central role in preserving and promoting civic song as part of the country’s spiritual and artistic heritage.

Over the decades, “Zambaku i Prizrenit” has hosted renowned artists and introduced musical works that are now recognized as part of Kosovo’s national cultural treasure.

The organizers emphasize that the festival’s continuity has been possible thanks to institutional support, particularly from the Directorate for Culture, Youth and Sports of the Municipality of Prizren and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports.

“Thanks to the work of poets, composers, orchestrators, singers, and the orchestra, the festival remains a golden crown of Prizren and an asset of the entire nation,” the organizing committee stated.

Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK) will serve as the media sponsor of this year’s edition.

On September 26, Prizren is expected to “light up with music, art, and numerous surprises,” with the orchestra already in rehearsal and preparations in their final stages. Organizers promise a unique atmosphere that will once again make the city a focal point of cultural life in Kosovo.
