SANI FESTIVAL 2021

About the Project

10 July – 21 August 2021
Halkidiki, Greece

Organization: SANI SA

In music, a pause affects the timing of the next note – as well as its dynamics. 

In the same way, Sani Festival made its spectacular return after a brief pause, to remind us how powerful music is, how important it is to resume, how essential to congregate.

New creators and living legends from the international scene as well as Greek artists with impressive track records came together in a programme filled with the rhythm, the melody and the pulse of an institution that stays true to its values and features: originality, high aesthetics and quality, and bridging hospitality and culture.
