The Municipality of Olympia is organizing the International Festival of Olympia, spanning from June until the end of August 2010.

The festival will host theatrical performances, documentary screenings and the innovative Earth, Wind and Music Festival from July 14 -18. The latter is an eco- friendly event which aims at using art and music in order to raise environmental awareness by organising three major ecological concerts without consuming electric power.

Famous artists such as Stavros Xarhakos-Elli Paspala and Haris and Panos Katsimihas are participating in this vanguard happening in Ancient Olympia. The choice of venue is not accidental, but seeks to attract the public to this ancient site devastated by the 2007 fires.
