The story

Kazbegoba in Stepantsminda/Kazbegi

Kazbegoba is a local harvest-season calendar day observed in Stepantsminda, the mountain town below Kazbek, alongside sister celebrations Atengenoba and Gergetoba. Held in early October, it features craft displays and communal beer brewing, giving visitors already in town for the Gergeti Trinity Church views a glimpse of genuine, small-scale highland community life.

Stepantsminda, still widely known by its older name Kazbegi, is the small mountain town beneath Mount Kazbek that serves as the gateway to the Gergeti Trinity Church and the wider Khevi highlands.
