The festival’s program is rich with activities, ranging from traditional rituals to treasure hunts, cultural performances, and hands-on traditional experiences, complemented by the opportunity to savor local agricultural offerings and specialties at various food stalls.

Anticipation peaks as the first week of May is expected to showcase the azaleas at their most splendid, positioning the festival as an ideal family excursion during the month dedicated to family celebrations.
