The fact that two cultural groups are active at the moment, the Folklore Club of Katakolo “Spyros Chionis” and the Cultural Association of Katakolo “O Pharos”, with continuous activities throughout the year is characteristic. At the same time, in recent years have been held the Food Fest in the Marina and the Port Festival in the grove, which include concerts and various other activities for all ages, while in the summer of 2022, for the first time, the international Ancient Fairy Festival was organized in the Marina, a place where concerts of well-known artists are often hosted but also events of the Municipality of Pyrgos during the holidays. Also, mention should be made of the Latsis Nautical Club of Katakolo, with significant action and successes in nautical sports at a Hellenic country level.
