Festival Visit meets Giortes Rokkas Festival

Every summer, Giortes Rokkas, tells a remarkable story. The story of a place that is craving life and development and expresses it through art in all of its different forms, taking us on a journey of August scented events that once you experience, you can never forget. The Giortes Rokkas festival served us as an inspiring study of how a festival can re-invigorate the village, the region and its strategy of community engagement on every level of the festival.

Open Call for Alumni of The Festival Academy

Giortes Rokkas Festival and The Festival Academy invited Alumni to be part of the group that came together for five days (17-22 August 2023) to study in depth the Giortes Rokkas Festival in the Greek island of Crete.

Giortes Rokkas was our first partner to explore this new activity format ‘Festival Visit’ that we are developing to investigate innovative organizational strategies and new ways of community engagement of festivals taking place in remote places and regions.
