The Carnival of Malliaros in Magganiako
Spread the word
Halloween is coming once again, and with it comes the ancient Dionysian events. In the semi-mountainous village of Magganiako, the "Carnival of Malliaros" will occur again. Bell-ringers, goatlike disguised people, accompanied by traditional brass players and percussionists, roam the village streets, awakening nature from winter slumber.
At 18:00, a walk with instruments will begin in the village streets. This will be followed by the action of "Malliaros" and a traditional feast around the fire.
The Cultural Association of Apantachou Magganiako people organises the event.
The musicians who will perform at the Malliaros Carnival are:
Stavros Panagiotopoulos: Zournas
Soureas Dimitris: Percussion
A party will follow with the Farra Trio band.
