First Amvrakia Music Festival Set to Enthrall Western Greece

This summer, the inaugural Amvrakia Music Festival will take place on August 16 and 17, promising an unforgettable experience where music and nature unite.

The event will be held at the picturesque, once-abandoned Psarogianni camp near Lake Amvrakia, which will be transformed into a vibrant cultural hub for the weekend.

Nestled in an idyllic location, just a breath away from the lake and surrounded by olive trees, the festival site is set to become a haven for music lovers and nature enthusiasts. This innovative initiative by the organizers aims to invigorate the region of Western Greece with a splash of culture and excitement.

The festival will feature performances by beloved artists, beginning with Socrates Malamas and Ioulia Karapataki on August 16. Their enchanting voices will create a nostalgic atmosphere, evoking memories of carefree childhood moments and blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings.

Attendees are invited to camp overnight in the shade of the olive trees, with facilities available for food, coffee, and drinks. Additionally, a variety of alternative activities will provide interactive entertainment throughout the festival.

The venue, located at the old Psarogianni Camp on the shores of Lake Amvrakia in Agrilos, is easily accessible via the Ionian Road (A5 Motorway). The festival site is less than an hour’s drive from cities such as Arta, Preveza, Lefkada, Agrinio, Messolonghi, and Nafpaktos. It is slightly over an hour from Patras and Ioannina, and approximately three hours from Athens and Thessaloniki.

Convenient on-site parking will be available, with staff on hand to ensure smooth and hassle-free parking within a few metres of the stage.
