With the purpose of introducing the province’s positive sides in economics, culture, sports, and tourism together with sustainable tourism development aspects, the festival will bring us a series of cultural, artistic and sport activities.
Since 2003, the festival has been regularly organized twice a year with the presence of thousands of inbound and domestics tourists (about 120,000 during the most recent festival).
