Panigiria Near
Corinthia starts early and runs long: the programme opens as early as late May and holds until the end of August, with the villages sharing the dates between them.
Nothing on right now
May - September
Panigiria run from May to September, and the season peaks at Dekapentavgoustos - the Dormition, on 15 August - when most villages hold their feast. Each programme is set close to its own saint's day, so the list fills late and empties out of season.

Panigiria Near Corinth
It begins in late May at Sofiko and Athikia, and June continues with Agioi Theodoroi, Stefani, Ancient Kleonae and Corinth itself. July is the densest month: Xylokeriza at the start, Stymfalia with its traditional glenti, Agiannis, Agionori with the herders' festival mid-month, Steno, Spathovouni, Petri and Angelokastro to the end. August brings Mosia, Rozena, Athikia again, Feneos, Xylokeriza and Ancient Kleonae around the 14th, Goura on the 20th and Chiliomodi on the 22nd.
Corinthia has two zones and the feast changes between them. Along the coast and on the plain the vine dominates - the area is historically a producer of raisins and wine, and the Corinthian raisin took its name from here. In the highlands, around Stymfalia, Feneos and Goura, the landscape turns Arcadian and the feasts keep a mountain character, with herders' celebrations such as the one at Agionori. There are produce festivals too, the best known being the Cherry Festival at Pyrgos Corinthias in July. The shape of the evening is constant: a band, tables in the square, roast meat and wine, dancing until late.
