Our Story
Along the Albanian Riviera, somewhere between Himara and Saranda, the fortress of Porto Palermo is undoubtedly one of the main destinations for Albanian tourism. Throughout the years, the castle has transformed into a very important tourist center that has attracted the attention of Albanian and international visitors. Therefore, as an added value to this destination, Olen Cesari initiated the Porto Palermo Festival. This festival aims to become a summer tradition by gathering visitors and lovers of Albanian and foreign art every year. As Porto Palermo Castle has a special historical value, the festival aims to revive this gem in the Albanian Riviera. It serves not only as a celebration of music and arts but also as a way to create awareness of important environmental and sustainability issues.
Vision
Our vision at Porto Palermo Festival is to become the forefront of sustainable tourism, revolutionizing tourism in Albania through a unique blend of music, cultural heritage, and touristic activities. We strive to promote Albanian culture and creativity as well as to revitalize the port area for generations to come. Together, we will boldly bring diverse musical genres from all around the world, inspiring and promoting Albanian tourism.
Mission
Porto Palermo Festival is a project with the mission to promote sustainable tourism and to bring an incredible cultural experience to Albania.
