The annual “Art En Route” festival stemmed from our desire to transform the city centre into a large, open-air art theatre. For four days many streets and squares of the city centre are dedicated to dancing, singing, colours and excellent music. Each year, Heraklion Municipality makes an open call to artists of any kind to submit their proposals on painting, artistic Graffiti, sculpture and installations, street theatre, music, dancing, handicrafts etc. Moreover, mime artists, clown, jugglers and stilt walkers, performers and daring skaters invite you to take part in this unique party and to interact with the artists and they offer you the joy of forming part of art’s greatness. The festival is held in early summer. For the exact dates of the festival just follow our events agenda!
