> On Friday 29 May 2026 Piazza Marina in Casamicciola Terme hosts the second ‘Magna Graecia Hellenic Fest’: historical parades, rituals, theatre, music and dance from cities of Magna Graecia and from Greece, celebrating the bond between Ischia – ancient Pithekoussai, the first Greek colony in the West – and Hellenic culture.

On Friday 29 May Piazza Marina will host the second ‘Magna Graecia Hellenic Fest’, an event bringing together history, culture, music, dance and traditions in an evocative show dedicated to the roots of the Mediterranean.

It puts the spotlight back on the deep bond between Ischia – ancient Pithekoussai, the first Greek colony in the West – and Hellenic culture, through historical parades, rituals, theatre and artistic performances from several cities of Magna Graecia and from Greece itself.

Organised by the Associazione I Sedili di Napoli ETS and the Megale Hellas Network, under the patronage of leading Italian and Greek institutions, the festival comes to Casamicciola Terme and turns Piazza Marina into a great agora overlooking the sea.

An occasion of great cultural value and identity that enriches the start of the summer season and confirms Casamicciola Terme as a meeting point of history, traditions and the Mediterranean.
