SUMMARY:Klidonas bonfires of Agios Ioannis\, Naoussa
LOCATION:Naoussa\, Paros\, Greece
DESCRIPTION:On the evening of 23 June the harbour of Naoussa (and\, smaller\, Aliki and Prodromos) lights the Klidonas bonfires: the dried May wreaths go on the fire\, kids and the local dance group jump over it\, and the cultural association hands out meze and wine with violin and laouto. It is a short\, early-summer event rather than an all-nighter\, so turn up around 21:00 and stay for the dancing on the quay.\n\nhttps://aegeanblueprint.com/festivals/paros/#naoussa-klidonas-bonfires-of-agios-ioannis-naoussa

SUMMARY:Panigiri of Agia Marina\, Kostos
LOCATION:Kostos\, Paros\, Greece
DESCRIPTION:Kostos\, the small hill village between Parikia and Lefkes\, keeps the Agia Marina feast on 16-17 July: vespers on the eve\, then tables in the square with food from the village association and violin-and-laouto dancing. It is one of the few proper mountain-village panigiria on Paros and much less touristy than anything in Naoussa.
