Abstract: Let $f$ be a periodic distribution of period $2\pi$. Let $\sum^\infty_{n=-\infty} a_ne^{in\theta}$ be its Fourier series. We show that the distributional point value $f(\theta_0)$ exists and equals $\gamma$ if and only if the partial sums $\sum_{-x\le n\le ax}a_ne^{in\theta_0}$ converge to $ \gamma$ in the Cesàro sense as $x\to \infty$ for each $a>0$.
