The story

Zugdidoba in Zugdidi

Zugdidoba is a newly reestablished October city festival for Zugdidi, capital of the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region, jointly run by the municipal city hall and government with a mix of cultural, sporting and educational events. Its relatively recent revival gives it a shorter continuously documented history than Georgia's longer-running city days.

Zugdidoba is described in available sources as a newly reestablished public festival for Zugdidi, the capital of the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region and historic heart of the Mingrelian cultural area in western Georgia, jointly managed by the Zugdidi Municipal City Hall and the wider Zugdidi Municipality Government.
