Although Kimolos is a tiny island, it has some unique festivities all year round. First of all, Kimolos celebrates the memories of its saints with a great Mass and traditional dancing in the square.
The most important religious festivals in Kimolos are the feast of Panagia Konomou on August 15th, Panagia Odigetria on November 21st and Prophet Elias on July 20th. |

Of particular importance is also the feast of Agia Methodia, on October 5th, who died on that island for her faith. The chapel of Agia Methodia is found in the Castle of Kimolos.
Some cultural events also take place on Kimolos in summer as part of the Isolario Project, which promotes cultural festivities in small islands. |
| A group of young artists who have familial or friendship ties with the island of Kimolos organize some events.
The main objective of this month long festival is to discover the beauty and history of Kimolos as perceived by those young artists.
The festival comprises photographs, art displays, video projections, workshops, theatre performances and other cultural events. |
