This spectacular exhibition of the vintage cars is accompanied with the showcase of a variety of handicrafts, metal, wood and ceramic artefacts, old furniture, as well as the space dedicated to the Albanian folklore tradition as part of our national identity and cultural asset.

Colourful carpets, clothing featuring traditional motifs, good food, Jazz & Swing music, along with the never-missing Souvenir Car Plates stand.
