Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Named after the 19th-century sailing ships ('primarolia') that carried Aigio’s currant cargoes to European ports, the festival ties modern art to local history. It is organized by a cultural organization in collaboration with the Municipality of Aigialeia. The theme changes yearly (e.g., Networks, Glocalities) to reflect aspects of local heritage and global connections.
