The Alilo parade on January 7 further enriches the festive spirit, as children dressed in traditional attire wander the streets singing carols, collecting sweets, and spreading joy. This practice of community engagement highlights the importance of charity and togetherness, reflecting core values that resonate deeply within Georgian society.
