Multiculturalism and tolerance

The multiculturalism and tolerance between different ethnicities characteristic of the Ottoman period is also expressed in the customs between the people, especially those between the bazaar guilds.

As such a custom, a symbol of the openness and multiculturalism of the bazaar is the custom of treating the neighbor and well-wisher with Turkish delight and coffee. We took that custom as a synonym for a "meeting" between different cultures and ethnicities.

Локум фест ги слави традициите на славното минато на градот Битола во времето на Отоманската Империја кога градот доживува најголем раст и важност и е познат и како Град на Конзулите, а старата турска чаршија важно место на случувања, средби и доживувања.
