The Spirit of Sani Festival

Every summer, from July to August, Sani Festival proudly brings together Greek and international artists, strengthening the cultural bond between natives and visitors. Rooted in jazz, the first event took place in 1992 over three days. Since then, the programme has naturally evolved beyond one main genre, hosting a wide variety of musical acts, from the likes of pop and rock to classical and indie, alongside the ever-present jazz masters. As the festival’s repertoire has grown, so too has its reputation and global reach, with ever more popular international acts performing each year.

SANI FESTIVAL 2025

This year, Sani Festival returns with a world-class lineup, uniting global icons across genres for an unforgettable summer. From soulful melodies to electrifying performances, experience the magic of live music under the stars on Sani Hill.
