view map

All over the year the village has a great culture of festivities. 1st of March the celebration of the “Chalanda Marz” takes place. Young boys are walking with cow bells through the village and try to chase away the winter by singing spring songs. On the afternoon, the government will be elected and formed in a new way.
24th of June there’s another important event related to the theme of fertility which is only celebrated in Ardez. Every girl and all the young women are supposed to give an egg to the young boys who are coming to their houses for collecting them. If the women won’t give the eggs, the boys will sprinkle the houses with water.
