Amyntaio festival takes place every year in early October and is considered the largest in Western Macedonia.

It has now been established as a local institution that gathers the interest of the whole region. It is considered a very important cultural and social event

On July 26-27, of Agios Panteleimon, in the homonymous Municipal District, a “kurbani” beef is sacrificed, which is then cooked in large cauldrons and distributed to the world.

During the same period, the Cultural Association holds seven-day events

“Tsiri tsiri Varvara” celebrated on December 3 every year in Amynteo and has Roman origins.

The Christian version wants the custom in honor of St. Barbara, who was saved when they tried to burn her.

The preparation begins days before the companies of each neighborhood gather wood so that the fire they will light is the highest. Then follows, accompanied by the bronze of the area, a folk feast around the surrounding fires until dawn.

The carnival was always intertwined with the entertainment of the locals. Formerly, the carnival of Amyntaio, which stopped in 1982 after strong pressures of the Church, was very glorious.

But an area with deep roots in the worship of Dionysus could not but continue the traditional custom. Thus, the baton was actively received by the residents of Xino Nero who organize carnival events every year during the last weekend of Carnival.

The infallible folk instinct satirizes the news while their chariots caustically comment on every event that affected their lives during the year. The events are attended by many visitors as it is the only carnival in the whole prefecture of Florina.

Tsipouro has always been an integral part of the economic life of the place. The traditional cauldrons for Friday that light up at the end of November and last until the end of December.

The days and nights of boiling are a special ritual for the producers but also for their guests who during the endless hours of waiting party with wine and tsigarides.

Florina fires are one of the most impressive festival. Every year, on December 23, the night before the eve of the great Christmas celebration, fires are lit in every neighborhood of the city. The inhabitants gather branches in the squares and as soon as night falls they light them, making the city sparkle.

The party also lights up and, in fact, lasts as long as the fire and even more! Somehow begins a series of events and celebrations that last the whole twelve days putting the city in a rhythm of fun and emotion.

Based on the island of Ag. Every year (during the last ten days of August) the cultural events “Prespeia” that bring together international artists take place, while the program includes concerts, poetry evenings and an open party.
