This beloved festival, which honours the region’s most iconic fruit, the orange, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and promises to be more vibrant and festive than ever.
Fodele puts on its orange colours and invites us to the 10th Orange Festival, on Sunday, April 27th, 2025, for an afternoon full of flavours, aromas, music, and tradition!
The Cultural Association of Fodele invites young and old alike to join in a day filled with music, dancing, traditional delicacies, interactive activities, and plenty of surprises that highlight local production and authentic Cretan hospitality.
Live music, the spring scent of oranges, and smiling visitors will fill the central square of the festival, creating a perfect setting for the whole family.
So let’s meet on Sunday, April 27th, at noon, in Fodele – to celebrate the “treasure” of the region in the sweetest and most refreshing way!
