The story behind it
Agrinio’s festival, organized through the European Association of Folklore Festivals network, highlights the agricultural plain traditions of Aitoloakarnania by inviting outside folk groups. It defines the city’s modern cultural scene as a gathering place for heritage arts. It is local in character (hosted by Agrinio) but international in participants, reflecting Greece’s role as a crossroads of Balkan folk culture.
