The Earth Festival opens its gates on Wednesday, July 2nd, in the courtyard of the 1st Experimental High School of Chania (Municipal Market Square) at 6:00 p.m. and its events will last until Sunday, July 6th.
With the slogan “Chania – a place to come, a way to live”, the Earth Festival brings together Local Government, Institutions, Organizations, Businesses, Producers and cultural groups in a celebration of experiential acquaintance with Chania.
The Festival is held under the auspices of the Region of Crete and is the result of cooperation between the Region/Region of Chania, all the Municipalities of the Region of Chania and the Chania Chamber of Commerce.
Visitors will have the opportunity to get to know the natural and productive wealth of Chania, the actions of Municipalities, Foundations and organizations as well as the products of productive enterprises of Crete and especially of Chania.
At the same time, visitors and participants will get to know the added value hidden in the stories and culture of the products of the Cretan land, they will feel the experience of the handmade element that constitutes a unique and timeless “key” for the visitor to discover some of the most authentic experiences of the place and they will become participants in experiential workshops and presentations that will be organized by Municipalities, businesses and organizations. For the first time this year they will become participants in our rich intangible cultural heritage through actions designed specifically for this purpose.
A rich traditional gastronomic program will be added to the list of events with antikristo, traditional noodles etc. dishes that constitute the flag of gastronomic critical nutrition. The action is part of the “Crete European Region of Gastronomy 2026” project.
Actions and programs for creative employment and education of children focusing on nutrition and environmental issues will also be implemented in a different designed space.
Finally, a rich cultural program with music and dance groups will provide the opportunity for entertainment and fun for local and foreign visitors to the Festival. Join Zoidakis, Kontaros, Malaxianakis, Vamvakas with Evangelia and the band CYCLE!
