Çeço Fest electrifies Argjiro Castle for its sixth edition
Gjirokastra welcomed “Çeço Fest” again this year, as more than 15 local and international DJs electrified the Argjiro Castle, drawing hundreds of young Albanians and foreign tourists.
Why is this important: The festival delivers two nights of electronic music that boost Gjirokastër’s cultural calendar and reinforce the city’s appeal to visitors, especially younger travelers.
Context: Now in its sixth edition, Çeço Fest unfolded over two nights with DJs performing across two stages set inside the fortress. Visitors—locals and tourists alike—enjoyed sets into the early hours, while lights, visual effects and pulsing rhythms transformed the castle into an amazing nightlife venue. Organizers say the goal is to stage an annual event that promotes both electronic music and Gjirokastër as a tourism destination.
