Festival at the Park

Since 2009, the Environmental and Cultural Park of the Municipality of Paros has organized the "Festival at the Park", a summer program with cultural, sports and environmental event held in the Park itself.

The Festival starts in June and ends in September, and at least twenty excellent events are hosted at the Archilochus outdoor amphitheater, the Cine Enastron open air cinema and in other areas in the Park.

The focal point of the Festival at the Park is the Archilochus amphitheater, an outdoor amphitheater that can seat 700 spectators. The theater, which has superb acoustics and the aura of an ancient theater, offers a spectacular view of the bay of Naoussa and the moonrise, allowing visitors to relax and submit to the images and sounds of the events. The theater was named after Archilochus, the revered Parian poet of antiquity, whose poetry is engraved on the walls of the theater.

The planning committee of the Festival takes great care to ensure that there are events for everyone, both young and old, each year.

The aim of the Festival is twofold:

• To introduce and promote domestic and international artists
• To present quality events that support the cultural life of the island, ecological awareness of residents and visitors, and encourage collective and voluntary activity.
