Alonissos Traditional Dance Festival July 4,5 and 6 in Alonissos

For three full days, Alonissos comes alive with dances, music, and vibrant scenes that highlight the deep roots of Greek tradition. The entire island transforms into a large open-air stage of culture, offering visitors the chance to experience firsthand the customs and uniqueness of regions from all over Greece — and beyond.

With the participation of 27 cultural associations from Greece and the United States, the festival showcases the richness of folk heritage in a truly stunning Aegean setting.

It is one of the most dynamic and beloved summer events in the Sporades — a living tradition that brings together generations and communities through dance and music. A three-day celebration you won’t want to miss!
