Galichnik, a charming village in Macedonia's mountains, is known for its unique architecture, rich culture, and the timeless Galichnik wedding tradition, protected by UNESCO.
The Galichnik wedding has been a symbol of community spirit throughout history, bringing people together in joyous reunions and celebrations of unions.
The wedding festivities spanned multiple days, with distinct ceremonies and revelries. However, the last documented Galichnik wedding dates back to 1936. In recent decades, the ceremony has transformed into a two-day cultural extravaganza held on Saturday and Sunday, with the main rituals occurring on St. Peter's Day. Participants proudly wore exquisite traditional folk costumes, renowned as the finest in the Balkans.
