Φεστιβάλ Καβάλας

"Dances of the world" is the combination of the two successful dance-festivals of Kavala. "Cosmopolis" took place from 2000 until 2009, in the old neighborhood of Panagia in Kavala and the "Sun and Stone" festival (since 1980) in Akontisma, N. Karvali.

The goal of this folklore festival is to get in touch with the traditions, the dances and in general the civilization of the guest- countries. Peaceful co-existence, the promotion of Kavala, Greece, the greek culture and hospitality through the experiences of the groups during the festival, the conduction of world-games (cosmo-games) and stories (from the guest- countries) for the children, their participation and the empowering of the volunteer- spirit, are all main goals of this festival.

The organizers of the "Dances of the world", are the Municipality of Kavala, the Municipal Beneficial Enterprise of Kavala "Dimofelia" and the Cultural House of N. Karvali. The funds come from the Municipality of Kavala, Dimofelia and sponsors.
