Corfu Beer Festival 2014 photos and videos
It’s the end of October and the end of the season is getting near. Arillas is still recovering from a spectacular five day festival last week. The organization was much better than last year, we had many more visitors and all of them went home happy. Great food, fantastic beers, (The Little Beer was my favourite!), beautiful and tasty local products and lots of music and dancing. Both the Greek and the UK dancers were fantastic on their own but the best moments of the festival were the ones when the dancers would mix and dance each other’s dances. A real melting of cultures! Watch some of the videos further down.
Sunday night turned into a real party thanks to Folk ‘n Roll who got people dancing and the Feakes traditional local band who kept us dancing till the early morning hours. And another highlight was the Monday night, after the festival when the volunteers, well over 100 people, got together to eat, drink and evaluate. Evrybody was tired but proud of ourselves. It was a little like the last page of Asterix…!
So, see you at next year’s beer festival! We’ll keep you posted on the theme, dates and other details.
