Paralia is a touristic seaside village situated on the west coast of the Thermaic Gulf and in the shadow of Olympus. The Festival has two parts: competitive and non-competitive. However, the character and the main concept of both parts is joining music, vacation, friendship and fun. The idea of the Festival is to bring the music closer to the people and to present the music on the streets and the squares of Paralia, Olympic Beach and Katerini. All choir ensembles, regardless of the members’ gender and age can apply for participation at the Festival.  less

See, see, your mistress bids you cease, And welcome Love, with love's increase, Diana hath procured your peace. Fa la la. Cupid hath sworn His bow forlorn To break and burn, ere ladies mourn. Fa la la.  less
