Nov 18 - Dec 3, 2026Expected
Each early fall, the town of Aigio celebrates the history of its black currant and its sailing past with the Primarolia festival. An international contemporary art exhibition and cultural events fill the program, in a celebration named for the old ships that once carried the town's currant cargoes to Europe.
The Primarolia Festival record is date-tracked, but stronger reviewed Field Guide media would make it easier to inspect.
