13th Pancyprian Cultural Watermelon Festival

After the postponements of the last years due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Community Council of Frenaros returns dynamically with the organization of the 13^th   Pancyprian Cultural Watermelon Festival. The festival is scheduled for July 08, 2022, at 8:15pm at the Community Stadium of Frenaros.
 
Among the goals of the festival, apart from the promotion of watermelon cultivation, is the promotion of products based on watermelon, such as watermelon sweets, watermelon ice cream and watermelon cocktails, as well as the creation of new and original gastronomic recipes.  With the support of the Deputy Ministry of Tourism and in association with the Cyprus Chef’s Association we organize a specialized workshop for professional chefs and restaurateurs, on the subject of “Watermelon Gastronomy”. The aim of these workshops is to include these new and original recipes in special menus for the summer season in restaurants. The workshop will take place at the Cyprus Millers Academy (Hadjigiorkis Flourmill) on July 6 2022 from 10:30 AM until 2:00 PM.
 
During the Festival, the visitor will taste sweet watermelon, watermelon ice cream as well as watermelon cocktails. With the participation of all the organized groups of our community, the visitor will have the opportunity to get to know traditional professions, such as the preparation of traditional red-haired halloumi and the construction of traditional chairs. For our little friends there will be sections with face paintings (Face Paintings) on the theme of watermelon, children’s constructions as well as many surprises.  It is also worth mentioning the charitable character of the Festival, as the participating organized groups have the opportunity to sell food, drinks, traditional products, constructions and other products.
 
The 13th Pancyprian Cultural Festival of Watermelon is under the auspices of the Honorable Deputy Minister of Tourism Mr. Savvas Perdiou, who will mark its opening and address a greeting.
