Region: Goychay District
The Goychay Pomegranate Festival takes place annually during the pomegranate harvest. Given that pomegranates are a national symbol in Azerbaijan - the country is thought to be the only to grow all the different sorts - and that Goychay is the capital of Azerbaijani pomegranate growing, the festival there is one of the most eagerly anticipated events outside of Baku. Expect to find pomegranate themed exhibitions, costumes, music and poems.
