Lesvos is gearing up to once again host one of its most significant cultural events in the Lesvos Food Fest.
The 2025 edition (and sixth overall) will take place from 2-6 July, with it travelling to five areas of the island: Mytilene, Agia Paraskevi, Molyvos, Sigri, and Petra.
The festival returns with renewed energy as it highlights the gastronomic wealth and cultural identity of the Lesvos countryside.
Each stop will see participants dive into the local flavours, the smells of the Lesvos land, and the habits that shape a special way of life around food.
The festival program includes educational seminars, cooking workshops that will even take place in home yards, tastings of local products, creation of recipes with key ingredients from Lesbos production, live cooking for young and old, as well as cultural activities such as parties, concerts, traditional feasts and revivals of customs related to the table and the collective experience of food.
It will once again host renowned chefs and professionals from the catering and hospitality industry, both from the public and private sectors.
The main objective of the organization is to promote the Lesvos land, the landscape, the people and the special atmosphere of the island.
Lesvos, after all, has always been a crossroads of cultures and culinary influences, something that is reflected in the recipes, raw materials, and techniques that have survived and evolved over time.
The main organiser of the event is the Molyvos Tourism Board, while each region participates with its own team of collaborators.
Specifically, the Cultural Foundation of Piraeus Bank, the Natural History Museum of the Petrified Forest of Lesvos, the Cultural Association of Petras, the Hotel Zaira, and the Association of Restaurateurs and Related Professionals of Molyvos are contributing to this effort.
