The story

Porto Palermo Outdoor Festival in Porto Palermo

A month-and-a-half summer concert series inside the Ottoman-era Porto Palermo fortress, founded by violinist Olen Cesari and now in its sixth edition, blending classical and pop performances with an official environmental sustainability mission. Its month-and-a-half run makes it one of the longest-running music events on the Albanian Riviera's summer calendar.

Porto Palermo Festival transforms one of the Albanian Riviera's most striking historical monuments, the triangular Ottoman-era fortress at Porto Palermo, into a genuinely extended music series running for a month and a half each summer, considerably longer than most single-weekend coastal festivals along the same stretch of coast.

The place changes
