For the 32nd year, the "Orange Festival" will take place in Stefania, in the Municipality of Evrota, during the four days from 5 to 8 July 2024. The event, which is constantly innovating and upgrading, will be even more special this year. Specifically, it will include the hosting of French businessmen and representatives of the French Embassy, with the aim of achieving partnerships for the export of citrus fruits and other local products to France.

During the events, workshops will be held between French businessmen and their Greek counterparts - traders/producers of Laconian products (such as olive oil, table olives, oranges, honey, livestock products, etc.).

The 32nd "Orange Festival" of the Women's Association of Stefania will be co-organized with: the Municipality of Evrotas, the Region of Peloponnese - PE Laconia, the Chamber of Laconia, the Development Company of Parnon SA.
