TIRANA, October 9 /ATA/ – Hundreds of Vespa enthusiasts from Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia and Italy will gather in Tirana on Saturday for the 13th edition of the “Vespa Parade Tirana 2026″—an event that blends culture, heritage, friendship between nations and social awareness.
The event will take place in Skanderbeg square, featuring a symbolic 600-square-meter installation designed to convey messages of unity and friendship between Albania and Italy.
