Who else’s favorite seasonal fruit is cherries? Now that the season is finally here, we’re ready to get our cherry-picking on! The annual Hammana cherry-picking festival is taking place this weekend, the perfect Sunday activity for you and your loved ones to bond over. Here’s everything you need to know about this highly anticipated event.

Taking place on Sunday, June 11th from 10am until 7pm, you’re all set for a day full of fun.

From 10am until 4pm, the lovely Hammana farmers’ orchards will be open for cherry-picking. Stroll through the cherry orchards and work together to pick the juiciest and most colorful cherries you can find. This activity is the perfect way to spend some quality time with your loved ones and bond over your shared love for this seasonal fruit. Besides, we believe a stroll through the rich orchard is quite the therapeutic experience.

After you’ve secured baskets of freshly picked cherries, you will head off to Hammana’s lively old souks, where you’ll be met with the kind smiles of the locals, lots of music, and delicious food. Families with young children will be happy to know that near the Municipality of Hammana, inflatable games will be set up for the little ones to enjoy!

Make sure to keep an eye out for the music parade that will be making an appearance multiple times throughout the day.
