The main event on Sunday begins at 3:00 p.m., with a program rich in tradition and culture.

– 3:45 p.m., Stefanos Pelekanis will present a special live performance, followed by traditional dances by the Limassol Folklore Research Group “Oi Amathousioi.”
At the same time, visitors will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops, such as basket weaving, olive figurine making, “tsakisti” olive figurine making, and olive wreath making. For our younger friends, there will be a specially designed area with creative workshops and activities.
The festival grounds will also feature traditional dishes, tastings, olive products, and local specialties. So far, more than 30 exhibitors have registered to participate, showcasing products and creations inspired by the olive, Cypriot tradition, and local production, and registration is still open.
The Festival’s goal is to highlight the centuries-old olive trees of Silikos and the history they embody, as well as to create a new institution that will bring together people, generations, and traditions.
Admission to all events is free.
