Athens, the historic capital of Europe and the cradle of Western civilization, is a place where the glorious past merges with modern vibrancy. With the Acropolis dominating its skyline, Athens is the ultimate meeting point for cultural events and festivals that celebrate international tradition.
Beyond world-renowned monuments such as the Parthenon, the Ancient Agora, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens boasts bustling neighborhoods like Plaka and Monastiraki, that are filled with colors, sounds, and flavors. The city’s rich history, extending from classical antiquity to the modern era, makes it a unique cultural canvas, ideal for organizing an international festival.
Open Ways Events & Travel, with extensive experience in organizing events throughout Greece, brings for the first time the International Tradition Festival “FOLKWAY“ to Athens. Our goal is to establish a new institution in the heart of the country, showcasing traditional dances and music from around the world in a multicultural celebration.
With the participation of local authorities and the support of the local community, the festival enhances Athens‘s position as an international cultural center, while simultaneously promoting global cultural heritage. We invite you to become part of this unique experience, to discover the multifaceted beauty of Athens and to celebrate with us the global tradition at the 1st International Tradition Festival “FOLKWAY“ in the capital!
