Folk Ensembles to Showcase Their Art at a Festival in Loutraki, Greece

From August 31 to September 4, 2026, the picturesque Greek resort town of Loutraki and the historic region of Corinth will host the International Folk Festival “Loutraki-Corinth” – an event that annually attracts performers from various countries and provides opportunities for cultural exchange, new friendships, and memorable stage performances.

The festival will take place in one of the most beautiful regions of Greece. Loutraki is renowned as a modern seaside and spa resort located just about 100 kilometers south of Athens. Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy both the beautiful beaches of the Corinthian Gulf and the rich cultural and historical heritage of the area.

The stages in Loutraki and Athens will welcome folk ensembles, majorette groups, and musical formations without age restrictions. Each group will have the opportunity to present a concert program of up to 20 minutes, including five performances of their own choice.

The organizers have prepared comfortable accommodation conditions and a rich accompanying program, including an official farewell celebration, diploma awards, and opportunities for sightseeing visits to some of Greece’s most famous landmarks. Recommended excursions include the capital city of Athens, the Corinth Canal, the historic town of Nafplio, and the region’s renowned ancient theatre.

The festival offers an excellent opportunity to present national traditions to an international audience and to establish new contacts among artistic groups from different countries.

The organizers invite all folk, music, and majorette groups to apply for participation. Places are limited, and registration is already open.

From April 9 to 12, 2027, the picturesque area of Lake Garda in Italy will once again host the XIII International Spring Festival “Lago di Garda” – one of the most popular international events for folk and contemporary arts in Europe.

The festival will take place on the shores of Italy’s largest lake, renowned for its breathtaking natural scenery, medieval towns, historic castles, and welcoming atmosphere. Every spring, the region becomes a meeting place for different cultures, traditions, and artistic groups from around the world.

The event is non-competitive and offers an excellent opportunity for cultural exchange, the presentation of national traditions, and the establishment of new international contacts. Participation is open to folk dance and vocal ensembles, instrumental groups, as well as performers in modern dance, jazz, hip-hop, classical ballet, and other stage genres. There are no age restrictions.

The program includes a festival parade, concert performances, a gala concert, and an official award ceremony. All participants will receive an honorary diploma, a plaque, and a festival souvenir. A traditional meeting with local authorities and festival organizers is also planned.

In addition to the performances, participants will have the opportunity to visit some of the most popular tourist destinations in Northern Italy. These include the romantic city of Verona, the charming town of Malcesine with its medieval castle, the panoramic views of Monte Baldo, and the world-famous Gardaland amusement park.
