Cosmopolis
The festival of Kavala
Cosmopolis is an event organised by the Municipality of Kavala and was first held in 2000. It is a multi-dimensional festival which attracts thousands of visitors of all ages to the city of Kavala, giving prominence to its cultural imprint not only in Greece, but also in the surrounding area. It is a celebration of music, arts, aquaintanship, mutual respect and participation with a shared vision to bring people closer, promoting the basic principle of human individuality. The festival lasts from May to December giving, that way, space to all kinds of music as well as to other forms of creative art. During its presence to date, it has hosted very important, both well-known, and young artists from all over the world and among them some of the greatest names of Greek and international music stage.
