Xylofagou to host first Big International Potato Festival
August 10, 2023
Yes, you read that right, the potato statue in Xylofagou, which went viral back in 2021, is having its own festival this year. Come September and the Xylofagou community will host the Big International Potato Festival, hoping to put the statue on the world map and perhaps even in the Guinness World Record.
On September 7 and 8, a festival will take place with music, song and dance and, of course, plenty of potato-related activities. Recipes and various bites featuring the potato will be featured throughout the two days, giving visitors a taste of the region’s most well-known produce.
