The Balkan Square festival is a well known festival of the
Municipality of Neapolis and Sykies in Thessaloniki which started in
2000 and runs once a year ever since. Its purpose is to bring the people
from the Balkan countries together in order to leave in the past what
has separated in the past, Balkan and World Wars and tented to alienate
them. The Balkan Square festival runs in the late August and the first
week of September every year.
Representatives of the Balkan countries who participate in this
festival over the years have proven that through culture, literature,
dance, music, singing, arts etc. Balkan people can unite, and bring
together their diverse cultures. It is a proof that Balkans can be and
is a common home for all of us who can work together to achieve things
as we have nothing that separates us.
The spirit of the festival evolves with music, dance, theater,
literature, history events that take place and aims to give the message
of life, of culture, of brotherhood, friendship and cooperation between
the people of the Balkans and especially the young people.
The Balkan Square festival has won the love of the people of
Thessaloniki and this is obvious through all these years from the
participation in the events that are taking place every year.

The summer cultural days in Naoussa, Imathia, Greece are organized by the Mayor of the city Mr Karambatzos Tassos. The event is following the end of the famous "Naoussa peaches" harvesting. Naoussa has been proven to be the ideal place of peaches cultivation
as the climate and the soil contribute to the special color, rich aroma
and to the distinctive taste. An important fact is that
the best varieties of peaches, since the recent reconstruction of the
varieties, are produced here. Consequently, the peaches which are
produced in Naoussa have been recognized as Products with Protective
Designation of Origin (P.D.O), and they are unique as they are the only
in Greece and of few in Europe with this accreditation.
