The story

Hazelnut Festival Zagatala in Zagatala

An autumn exhibition built around Zagatala's status as Azerbaijan's hazelnut capital, mixing nut and produce displays with handicraft contests and organized visits to hazelnut gardens and a walnut-processing plant. Running annually since 2017, it gives visitors a rare look at the working side of the country's nut industry, not just the tasting tables.

Zagatala supplies the bulk of a national hazelnut crop that makes Azerbaijan the world's third-largest producer, and each autumn the district turns that supply chain into a public festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike most regional harvest fairs, this one includes scheduled field trips, to the Parzivan hazelnut garden at Zagatala's experimental station and to an Azersun walnut-processing plant, so visitors see the agricultural and industrial sides of the crop, not just a market stall

02

The mystery stays covered

Zagatala grows over a hundred documented hazelnut varieties, and Azerbaijan overall ranks third worldwide in hazelnut production, giving the festival a genuine claim to represent a globally significant crop rather than a purely local specialty
