"Fanouria"

In the village of Colchida, during late August, the people celebrate the memory of St. Fanourios. In addition to the events with dancing, food and wine, the women of the village prepare a Fanouropita. This is a fasting pie that is made in the memory of St.Fanourios (27/08) and is offered as a blessing to the faithful. It is a custom that began as a pious gesture of the believers (especially the females and the name of the Saint has been associated with finding lost objects and people) and we do not think that it conceals something abnormal or ugly.

International Puppet and Mime Festival

A group of dreamers who keep a hug full of dreams and have the rainbow as their guide. With the colors of the rainbow they create stories that guide us to play and dream on a colorful canvas. In the time when the first baby smile broke into a thousand pieces and from those pieces the fairies were born. Fairies that when we lose our courage, visit us in the dawn to comfort us and to rise our sails again with hope.

A river of colors, music, puppets, costumes and happy faces, overflows every year in early October Kilkis and fills our hearts with wonderful feelings that come from every corner of the Earth. A unique event in Greece aimed at the dissemination of puppetry and mimicry, while contributing to the knowledge and understanding between the cultures of people.
