International Eressos Women's Festival

Going into its sixteenth year, the International Women's Festival is the highlight of the season for the lesbian community of Skala Eressos. Taking place over two weeks in early September, the festival promotes local lesbian-owned businesses and provides a wide array of events including live concerts, parties, art exhibitions, excursions, a triathlon and a fashion show. Hotels will book up early so plan to reserve at least three months out.Tickets are in wristband form and can be purchased in advance or at the festival for around $70. Early Bird discount tickets, which must be purchased before June, are around $50. Tickets can also be purchased for individual events, which range in price from $15 to $55. Volunteers have free access to all events.
