- Folktales Festival @ Kea Island
For the 13th continuous year, the Folktales Festival of Greece will be held on the island of Kea from July 17-26. The heroes of fairy tales will pop up on beaches, squares, the cobbled paths of Kea and narrate tales to children and adults. This year’s event will host the Federation for European Storytelling (FEST), as well as narrators from twenty countries, from Europe to Canada and South Korea. They will meet in Kea, tell stories and celebrate together the universality of stories, folk wisdom and oral tradition. There will also be parallel events: a workshop on storytelling and music for children and adults and shadow theatre performances.
