At the heart of the events is the “Peach Blossoms 2026 Photography Contest – ‘Where Love Blooms’”, which for the 9th consecutive year invites professional and amateur creators to capture not staged images, but real moments and genuine emotions, set against the blooming peach orchards of the Veria plain.
The programme unfolds over two weekends.
On Saturday, March 14 («Elia Park–Ag. Anargyron» 11:00-14:30), the festival opens in the city overlooking the blooming pink plain, with creative and imaginative activities for all ages.
On Sunday, March 15 (Kouloura Village, 11:00-14:30), the experiential event “The Field that Whispers Love” takes visitors to the heart of the countryside, offering an immersive experience of connection with nature.
On Saturday, March 21, the Spring Equinox is celebrated in Mesi, with activities inspired by rural life, accompanied by music and interactive games. On Saturday evening (21:30), the “3rd Pink Wine Party” offers a unique rosé wine experience set to the rhythms of the 80s and 90s, while part of the proceeds will be donated to a charitable cause.
The festival culminates on Sunday, March 22, with a grand spring finale: a group cycling ride and guided walk through the pink fields, set against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains, creating an unforgettable experience.
