Soja City Retroad (retro + road) Festival is held every year in late September. It is organized to celebrate the old main street of Soja City and its purpose is to bring together the new and the traditional. You walk along this beautiful old road, admiring the old architecture, meeting and talking to local people who have small exhibitions of the clubs and societies of Soja City, artists displaying their work, musicians scattered in quaint locations and food stalls to make this slow walk tasty.
