After four dynamic years, A Festival in Samothrace returns to celebrate its 5th consecutive edition, renewed and more creative than ever. From Thursady, July 2nd to Monday, July 6th, 2026, the Festival will host a series of theatrical, musical, dance, and participatory activities for audiences of all ages, focusing on integrating art into the natural and social fabric of the island.Led by Venia Stamatiadi, A Festival in Samothrace continues its mission with consistency and inspiration, aiming to highlight the cultural identity of this unique place while bridging the gap with mainland Greece. Once again, the participation of volunteers and local residents is significant, as they eagerly anticipate and warmly embrace the Festival each year. Starting from the Old Primary School of Thermes, the Festival transforms various locations across the island into vibrant cultural hubs.In addition to already recognized productions traveling to Samothrace, again this year several fully developed theatrical performances as well as theatrical lectures will begin their journey on the island. In this way, the remote island of Samothrace becomes a center for cultural creation and the export of artistic activity, while the Festival establishes itself as a pillar supporting contemporary dramaturgy.
