The story

Permet Recel Festival in Permet

A second research pass found Festa e Nonave, or the Grandmothers' Festival, a culinary fair in Përmet's main square running for at least three years, gathering traditional home cooks from across Albania and Kosovo. It likely includes the reçel jam Përmet is known for, though no event independently branded specifically as a reçel festival was separately confirmed.

Përmet's reputation for reçel, fruit jam made from the produce of the surrounding Vjosa River valley, is genuinely well established, recognized enough that certain local varieties have drawn attention from Slow Food Albania as products worth actively protecting and promoting as part of the country's culinary heritage.
