Lefkada International Folklore Festival
38° 50.0′ N · 20° 42.5′ E · approximate
Every late August Lefkada town fills with dance troupes from around the world for the International Folklore Festival, held alongside the island's long-running Festival of Speech and Art.
Practical
The 64th International Folklore Festival opened on Sunday, August 23, 2026, together with the 71st season of the Festival of Speech and Art (Lefkada municipality). Programmes and parade details are posted on lefkada.gov.gr each summer. Expect the town quay and marina to be full and the town busy into the night. Coordinate is the Wikipedia town-centre point for Lefkada (city), used because events take place across the town.
