The Festivals in Gaios are a series of cultural celebrations held in the main port town of Paxos, Greece. These events typically honour religious feast days with processions, music, and traditional dancing in the harbour square. They offer a direct encounter with local Orthodox traditions and island community life.

- Religious processions with icons through the streets of Gaios, often accompanied by a brass band.
- Evening concerts of Greek folk music and dance performances in the main square, lasting until midnight.
- Local food stalls selling souvlaki, pastitsio, and homemade wine during the festival days.
- Fireworks display over the harbour on the final night of major festivals, such as the Feast of Agios Spyridon.
- Opportunity to join the circle dance (kalamatianos) with residents, suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
- Boat processions in the harbour on some feast days, with decorated caiques circling the islet of Panagia.
