XVIIII International Folk Dance Festival "Hanioti 2013" 15-20 May, Greece

One more festival in Hanioti is behind us...It was great one...again :)  


Makfolk Association and Talija Art Co would like to send warm greetings to all the participants that made this festival unforgettable. For them,for us and for people of Hanioti. 560 children from Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Moldavia, Russia proved once again that dancing and singing is what can make world a better place.

During the festival every ensemble has at least two shows- the main one in Hanioti and the other in one of the places of Municipality of Pallini. The shows are organized in the evening hours with a short defile at the start. 

As you can see from video above also residents of Hanioti enjoyed and cheered folklore festival too. We can say that city breathed with the festival. Weather was also nice so most of the children were on the beach at free time...some of them also visited Thessaloniki, historical place Meteori or boat tour through Aegean see. 

Festival was closed with great gala ceremony where all the ensembles get certificate for participation  and also gifts were exchanged by ensembles and major of the city Hanioti.

You can see more pictures and videos at our FaceBook page.

At the end we can say that in September we will have jubilant XX Festival and there are already more then 800 participants signed in for the festival...so it will be greatest one for sure.

Hope to meet you in September.
