The 2017 Junior Eurovision Song Contest held the official opening party yesterday. Six accredited journalists left the NNN hotel by metro to the Welcome Ceremony at the Georgian Parliament library. The underground was very crowded. The team were a little late arriving and the head of Georgian delegation welcomed the artists on the red carpet.

Inside the venue Mariam (last year’s winning singer from Georgia) was singing. The presentation of Georgian food and drink was wonderful. Roy and Fabiana chatted with several acts including Malta, Armenia and Portugal.
