RIZES FEST 2025: A Two-Day Celebration of Music, Dance & Tradition!
At RIZES FEST, we’re creating our very own square, where you can rest, eat, drink, and enjoy—just as you would in a classic village festival. Who knows? You might even find yourself rolling out some dough or doing a bit of embroidery!
One day is just not enough. That’s why this summer kicks off with the two-day RIZES FEST 2025—a celebration of Greek roots, music, and tradition that will bring people together like a true village feast.
Day 1: Friday, May 23
On Friday, we embrace the fiery spirit of Pontic tradition with:
- Leftokarya – Feel the pulse of the Pontic lyra and dance to your roots.
- Kinderia – Let the night smolder with passion and rhythm.
- Fystiki Saloni – Set sail into a sea of melodies and memories.
- Bratimia – If love finds you on the dance floor, they’ve got the soundtrack for it!
Day 2: Saturday, May 24
On Saturday, the journey continues with:
- Agkinares – A different kind of lyra—the Cretan lyra—takes center stage.
- Kanvinitisses – Let the nightingales carry you across the world with their mesmerizing voices.
- Laska – Jump, dance, and unleash your inner klefti.
- Nikos Oikonomidis & Kyriaki Spanou – A grand feast to end it all, if you’ve got the energy to keep up!
Two days, one village square, unforgettable moments. Are you ready to dance, feast, and celebrate like never before?
