Hello
I am Beatriz from Barcelona.
I will stay in Thassos this Summer from August 27th to August 30th (too little time unfortunately!).
I would like to know which are the cultural events and popular celebrations taking place during my stay.
Is there any website indicating all the events, cultural places, celebrations, etc… in the island?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi Beatriz, and welcome to our forum! ![]()
It’s wonderful to hear you’re planning a trip to our beautiful island, even if it’s for a short time. We hope you make the most of your stay!
To answer your question about cultural events and popular celebrations taking place during your visit (August 27th to August 30th), the very best resource is the official Go-Thassos events page. You can find a comprehensive and regularly updated list of all cultural events, celebrations, and more at events.go-thassos.gr
This page is specifically designed to provide you with detailed information on what’s happening around the island, including dates, times, and often descriptions of the events.
Looking at the current schedule, you might find some Live Greek Music events for those dates, and an “Exhibition: Playmobil: Ancient Thassos” which seems to be running throughout August in Limenas.
While big traditional “panigiria” (feasts) often happen earlier in August, there are usually smaller local events, exhibitions, and live music performances that continue throughout the month. The events.go-thassos.gr site will be your most reliable source for the most up-to-date information as your travel dates approach.
Please also note that events can be organized and announced pretty last minute, sometimes just a week prior to the event. We’ll post them on the website as soon as we have the information, so keep checking back closer to your travel dates for the most up-to-date schedule.
We wish you a fantastic time in Thassos!
Thanks Augie!
Best
