If you are looking for the most authentic, “local-first” experience on Ascension Day (May 29th), the Kato Korakiana Festival is the place to be. Located in the lush hills near Dassia and Ipsos, this village prides itself on preserving the raw spirit of the Corfiot Panigiri.

The festival takes place in the heart of the village square, where the community gathers to celebrate with live “Kalami” music and traditional violins. Kato Korakiana is famous for its cultural associations and its dedication to Corfiot folk dance, making it the best place to see the more intricate and energetic traditional dances of the island.

This is an event where the “Partner-First” philosophy of Discover Corfu shines, as local tavernas and vendors provide the best of the region’s food and wine. It’s an intimate, high-energy, and deeply welcoming celebration that offers a true window into the soul of Corfu.
