Naxos Festivals

Naxos Festivals

During summer the Cultural Organization of the Municipality of Naxos organizes many diverse events, the «Dionysia», offering visitors the chance to get to know the different sides of life on the island. These events include concerts, painting, photography and sculpture exhibitions, theater performances and many more. The «Dionysia» culminate with a wine-feast. The Municipality of Drymalia organises a series of events held in the mountain villages of Naxos.


The religious festivals are important events for the community; a form of celebration has been handed down from generation to generation.

Festivals


These religious festivities are the continuations of ancient customs which have thus survived to the present day. Once a year every village or settlement celebrates its own patron saint’s day. After the church service, the music begins and the celebrations involve feasting and dancing until the early hours of the next day. In earlier times the festivals took place in the open air, something which contributed to their special charm. Nowadays the festivals often take place in the taverns which are situ­ated around the village square. Should you find yourselves at a festival, you will almost certainly be swept along in the merriment and find yourselves dancing. Don’t miss this rare opportunity!
