With a history of more than five decades, the festival is one of the most important cultural institutions in Northern Greece and has established itself as a reference point for drama, music, dance, exhibitions and contemporary artistic creation. The centre of the action is the Ancient Theatre of Dion, one of the most imposing in the country.
