Situated in the postcard-perfect mountain village of Galičnik in Northwestern Macedonia, this festival is a combination of tradition, local custom and heritage, taking place once a year over a two day period in July. The origin of the festival is this; in the beginning of the 20th century, Galičnik had only 5,000 residents, with its remote location and lack of industry forcing many of its younger inhabitants to move to larger cities in search of employment. Thus it was set that every year on the Saturday closest to St. Peter’s Day, those who had moved from the village would return. Many engaged couples would choose to get married on this day, in order to spend their wedding with family and friends before returning to their new homes. This sometimes saw over 40 couples marrying on the same day. Today, locals honor this custom by marrying one couple in the traditional Galičnik fashion, by dressing up in traditional costume, and by following a series of rituals which include playing instruments, singing, and dancing the Montenegrin Teškoto, an unmissable spectacle performed by a group of local men. Visitors to this festival can expect a unique and exhilarating atmosphere, and the chance to see an unforgettable wedding.
