Diana at the Gagauz Carpet Festival

The art of Gagauz carpet weaving has been constantly improving. Over the centuries, compositions and a special color palette have been selected. From numerous written sources and documents, it is known that the carpets were woven from pure wool and were very beautiful. They were carefully treated and passed down as family relics from generation to generation. The traditions of Gagauz carpet weaving are deeply original and authentic. In order to preserve and develop crafts and related rituals, the annual festival "Gagauz Carpet" ("Gagauz kilimneri") is held, where you can see ancient and modern carpets, learn the history of carpet weaving, purchase a woven carpet, tapestry, clothing, and accessories, try dishes of national cuisine, and watch an exciting concert program.
