For the 25th consecutive year, the International Pelion Festival returns dynamically from July 17 to 30, illuminating the picturesque corners of Zagora, Tsagarada, and Kissos Pelion with the sounds of classical music. Since its inception in 2000, the festival has managed to become one of the most important artistic summer institutions, not only in Greece but also on the international stage.
This year’s program promises a rich and high-quality artistic menu: concerts, lectures, open rehearsals, master classes, and recitals with the presence of leading Greek and foreign musicians who have gained worldwide recognition. All these activities are not just performances, but bridges that connect music with the nature, history, and culture of Pelion, creating a unique experience for the audience.
This year’s event will host artists from all over the world — from Europe, Asia, Latin America, with previous participations including musicians from Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, the USA, Brazil, and other countries. As always, admission for the public is free, while the artists participate pro bono, serving art and culture.
The festival brings together a diverse audience: permanent residents of the region, vacationers, but also visitors from every corner of Greece and abroad, who realize that Pelion is not only a natural paradise, but also a cultural destination of international scope.
Beyond musical education, the festival seeks to highlight the history and natural beauty of the place, attracting visitors and strengthening the local economy in an authentic and sustainable way. The choice to combine art with the natural environment of Pelion is not accidental: it is the best proof that culture and nature can harmoniously complement each other and create an unforgettable experience.
With a program full of music and culture, the 25th International Pelion Festival is expected to keep the magic of the place alive and confirm that art is the language that unites people across borders.
