The important institution of the Region of Central Macedonia returns to the inner courtyard of Eptapyrgios.

With poetry nights, but also with a concert of new artists and groups, which comes after the excellent SKG LIVE MUSIC FEST”.

With 15 performances. With four opera performances, co-produced with the State Theatre and the State Orchestra of Northern Greece and 100 performers on stage.

In its six years of existence, the Eptapyrgios Festival has hosted some of the most important names of the Greek artistic scene, as well as the international scene. At the same time, in the productions it designs and implements, it collaborates with almost all the artistic institutions of northern Greece.

Works and artists of international recognition in a unique monument make up a puzzle that covers a very wide range of artistic events (opera, tributes, poetry and music evenings, art music concerts).

The programme of the Eptapyrgios 2024 Festival, presented at the Press Conference in the Regional Council Hall, consists of seven major productions.

The performers are outstanding artists, most of them from the Region of Central Macedonia.
