Overview
Since there’s all kind of festivals on local vegetables and fruits like the recent Potato Festival and the Watermelon Festival, why not organize one dedicate to carrots? The Liopetri Municipal Council with an aim to promote the area’s agricultural products are setting up a day of fun full of tasty orange-coloured treats, food and music.
Starting at 20:00 at Axiron Staidum, rows of kiosks will be selling all kinds of products whose main ingredient are carrots. These will include carrot jam, carrot croissants, donuts with carrot cream and carrot jam, loukoumades with carrot, carrot ice cream and carrot drinks such as juices and cocktails. So whether you’re a fan of carrot or not, this definitely sounds interesting and is worth a try!
And seeing as no Cypriot festival has a shortage of hot food, there will be servings of souvlakia, kleftiko hot dogs with coleslaw, pickled carrots, eggs with carrots and crepes.
Executive chefs from the region will also prepare gourmet dishes with their teams, that will of course feature the night’s honourary guest; the carrot. Visitors will be welcomed to try their creations for free!
A four-hour music program will compliment the evening.
A kiosk at the festival will be opened for the public to bring goods for people affected by the wildfires in Greece that burnt areas to teh east of Athens, the event’s organisers said.
