Pieria, a place that enchants with its natural beauties and deep cultural heritage, is the ideal destination for hosting International Tradition Festivals. With the imposing Mount Olympus, the mythical mountain of the gods, dominating the horizon and the shores of the Thermaic Gulf offering serenity and beauty, the region uniquely combines history, tradition, and the warm hospitality that characterizes its people.
This enchanting place stands out for its diverse landscapes: lush forests, crystal-clear rivers, and award-winning beaches that are annually honored with Blue Flags. Mount Olympus offers unique opportunities for adventure and connection with nature, while the archaeological treasures, such as the ancient sanctuary of the Macedonians at Dion, and the picturesque traditional villages create a comprehensive cultural experience for every visitor.
Open Ways Events & Travel, a company with extensive experience in organizing events throughout Greece, organizes the 21st International Tradition Festival “FOLKWAY“, showcasing Pieria internationally and enhancing its cultural identity. It is noteworthy that this is the only international cultural festival in the region, held under the auspices of the Regional Unit of Pieria and implemented in official collaboration with local Municipalities. This collaboration ensures the quality and authenticity of the event, while highlighting the dynamism of the local community and its contribution to the preservation and promotion of tradition. The 21st International Tradition Festival “FOLKWAY“ continues this successful journey.
With a variety of participants, vibrancy, and authenticity, the festival once again promises to be a multicultural celebration of traditional dance and music. We invite you to become part of this unique experience and discover firsthand the magic of Pieria!
