For the 7th consecutive year, the Cultural Association of Keramoutsi is hosting the Pumpkin Festival, now a beloved local tradition!

This year, besides tasting the variety of pumpkin-based recipes, visitors will also have the chance to bring their own dish to share and enjoy at the evening buffet.

Even more exciting—those who wish to compete can do so by entering their recipe in the first-ever Pumpkin Recipe Contest!

A panel of judges will be ready to taste, rate, and award the best savory and the best sweet recipe.

If you don’t feel like competing, just bring your creation to be part of the evening’s tasting buffet!

The event takes place on Saturday, September 20th at 21:00, in Keramoutsi Square.
