The festival is an inspiration of the Cultural and Sports Association, PAOK-Klirou which in collaboration with four other Communities of the region will present in the Klirou Square a unique program with emphasis on Cypriot traditional dance and folk tradition. Five Bands, 100 dancers and musicians will revive through dance both the agricultural activities and the social habits of the different generations of the local communities. At the same time, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the Folk Art workshops which will present traditional professions by Craftsmen such as wood carving, making a toned chair and mats, and an embroidery demonstration with a chisel. At the same time, visitors will experience Cypriot delicacies of local wine and gastronomic products with the local producers of Zivana with on-site distillation, on the spot production of Halloumi, Trachana and Lokmas as well as other delicacies such as Cypriot pastelaki and traditional Siousioukko. The traditional “Kleftiko” of the area will be sold at the place as well as other choices of food, sweets and drinks.
