Did you know, there is a whole festival in Azerbaijan dedicated purely to pomegranates? On the first weekend of October each year the biggest Pomegranate Festival Nar Bayrami is celebrated in the Goychay region of Azerbaijan. 

First things first, let's talk about this incredible festival. Goychay, known as Pomegranate Capital, turns into a pomegranate wonderland with vibrant colors, fragrant aromas, and celebrations. Farmers come together to showcase their best fruits and vendors and artists set up elaborate pomegranate-themed displays and products.

You can try freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, prepared right before your eyes, and taste many traditional foods made with pomegranate as a key ingredient. The festival has such a prominent cultural significance that it has been recently added onto the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list.

So, why is the festival held in Goychay? Goychay, also known as the "Pomegranate Capital" of Azerbaijan, is home to the most fertile soil in the country. This soil provides the perfect conditions for growing the most generous and vibrant pomegranate trees. Pomegranates grown on these trees are known for their premium flavour, colour, and nutritional content. Other pomegranates simply do not compare in quality!
