Gift Festival

GIFT 2026 — the festival’s 29th season — once again places Tbilisi firmly on the international cultural map. From 16 October to 14 November, the city will welcome some of Europe’s most distinguished contemporary theatre and dance artists, international companies, new Georgian–European co-productions, creative residencies, masterclasses and professional encounters. Nearly three decades after its foundation, GIFT remains true to the idea from which it was born: to make Tbilisi a place where Georgia meets the world — and from which Georgian art begins its journey into the world.
