An annual festival of traditional folk dance held in Nea Anchialos each summer, this international gathering features dance troupes from Greece and abroad. Over several days in late June, groups perform in cultural centers and outdoors, sharing their regional dances and costumes. Aimed at cultural exchange, it combines an exhibition of international traditions with local Greek folk presentations.
The festival was created to promote folk traditions and cross-cultural friendship. It is organized by local dance associations and municipalities to celebrate the region’s heritage. For Nea Anchialos, it adds a global dimension to its local culture by inviting visitors worldwide to experience Greek dance and vice versa.
