Today I went to Tbilisoba-the Day of Tbilisi. It's the largest annual celebration in the the city, commemorating the foundation of Tbilisi. It was a beautiful Autmun day with loads of people and many rural artists and craftsmen representing their region of Georgia. Tbilisoba was established in 1979 and reintroduced in 1994 after having been suspended for six years due to political unrest. But today one would not even think of those bad times with all the music, food, art, games, and tons of people.
Organ grinder...no monkey
Pony rides...thats the organ grinder in the front seat.
Cool old guy selling drums
Not quite sure, but there were several of these people alone the bridge connecting one of the festival to the other. My guess is it was a way to mourn those lost in the wars in the recent past.
