The feast of the island's patron saint fills Zakynthos Town for several days, peaking on the night of 24 August with a big procession and fireworks over the harbour.
Practical
Festivities start a couple of days before 24 August (zanteisland.com). The town quay will be crowded with local boats and visitors; arrive early for a berth, and expect noise late into the night. Coordinate is the Church of Agios Dionysios (Wikivoyage).
