Strawberry Festival 27th of May 2016 - Deryneia

Anagennisi Deryneias Sport Ground

Strawberry Festival 27th of May 2016 at  Deryneia Village.

The 10th Pancyprian Strawberry Festival is only weeks away.

The festival which started in 1999, is organised by the Deryneia Municipality in cooperation with the strawberry farmers of Deryneia. The aim of the festival is to promote the pioneering strawberry farming and the products that are produced from it. Dherynia is famous for its strawberry cultivation, which was introduced over 55 years ago. The area has since produced by far the largest quantities and arguably the highest quality of strawberries in Cyprus.

Thousands of visitors, locals and tourists alike, attend the festival where they are able to sample free fresh strawberries, strawberry juice, jam, liquor, ice cream and much more. 

The evening festival also offers an artistic program, with various bands and well known vocal acts in attendance. 

The Strawberry festival will be held at the football ground of Anagennisi Deryneia on the main Dherynia to Sotira road on Friday 27 May 2016 starting at 7pm.
