The City Dionysia was a huge annual religious festival held in March and April, sacred to the god of wine and fertility, Dionysus. It makes sense that the festival was held in the springtime--it takes several months for the grapes harvested in October to ferment into wine; with the opening of the first new batch of wine for the year, the festival began.
