Aegina’s annual Fistiki Festival returns on September 18-21 to celebrate the island’s trademark product, the renowned PDO pistachio (fisitiki). As every year, the festival will combine a commercial exhibition with various cultural events. 


The pistachio fair, set up along the splendid port promenade, will feature 60 kiosks offering pistachio and pistachio-based products. This year’s cultural programme, themed under the motto "Earth, Light, Taste, Culture," features music, lectures, theater, plays, along with guided tours to the island’s museums and sites, running races, seminars on the making of traditional hand-woven kopaneli laces and much more.
