Corfu Local Events
Corfu has kept its traditions alive. Events in Corfu that were celebrated hundreds of years ago are still enjoyed in a traditional manner, and throughout the year there are several significant Corfu events and celebrations taking place.
There are four annual processions held on the island in homage to the patron saint, Spiridon. These processions are extremely popular among tourists and locals. In fact, two of the processions are held at Easter and have become a part of the extensive calendar of religious and cultural activities. Other traditional ceremonies include the ‘pot-throwing' ceremony held on the morning of Easter Sunday. Below is a list of upcoming events in Corfu that make a great time to visit!
