WHAT IS TIRANA PA MAKINA?CLOSE+
THE STREET BECOMES A SQUARE.
Tirana Pa Makina is a cultural and community festival that turns part of Bllok from a traffic corridor into a space for walking, play, music, comedy, a market and meeting people. For four days, Pjetër Bogdani Street is given to pedestrians.
The value is not limited to the stage. You can experience the city at a different pace, children have their own space, businesses step into the street and an evening can unfold without driving from one point to the next.

BEFORE YOU GO
NO BAD SURPRISES.
A car-free street means more people, changed access and a different rhythm for Bllok.
Do not count on street parking
Pjetër Bogdani is pedestrian during the four days. If you come from farther away, leave the car outside the activity area and continue on foot.
With children, arrive a little early
Kids Island starts at 18:00. Arriving before the start gives you time to find the point, water and a calmer spot before crowds build.
Expect Friday crowds
Carl Craig and Street Music Night are likely to make Friday the busiest night. Agree on a meeting point and do not rely only on mobile data.
Check the final update
The official site says times may shift slightly. Open the official Instagram before leaving, especially for Friday sets.
For visitors
Keep some lek, mobile data and your accommodation address. For an eSIM you can check Thirr; for intercity transport use eTransport.
In an emergency
Call 112. Tirana Municipality also lists 127 for medical emergency, 128 for fire and 129 for police.
