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!
