THE OLYMPUS FESTIVAL
The Festival of Olympus has been established here for 30
years now, and is the summit of the year's cultural activities.
It embraces Pieria, Macedonia and Thessalia and has the
widest range of cultural activities in the Balkans.
The programme includes productions of plays from the
Ancient and Modern Greek and Foreign repertoire, ballet,
opera, classical and folk concerts, as well as talks on the
archaeological significance of the area.
The performances take place in the ANCIENT THEATRE OF
DION and the CASTLE OF PLATAMON during the months
of JULY, AUGUST and SEPTEMBER and attract audiences in
excess of 40,000 each year.
