Festival Dates 2023: 10th to 20th September 2023

The 2027 Dates Are Here!

We are delighted to announce the dates for the International Eressos Women’s Festival 2027!

Join us in Sappho’s birthplace, beautiful Skala Eressos on the island of Lesvos, from 6th to 18th September 2027.

In 2027, our continuing quest for the perfect festival format takes us to 13 wonderful days and nights together — giving us more time for events, workshops, performances, films, parties, reunions and, just as importantly, time to relax and enjoy everything Skala Eressos has to offer.

At the heart of the festival remains what has made it so special for more than a quarter of a century: women from around the world coming together to celebrate music, culture, creativity, friendship and community.

We are already working on the 2027 programme, bringing back some festival favourites while making space for new artists, new ideas and new experiences. From our evenings under the stars at the open-air cinema to workshops and activities throughout the village, there will once again be plenty to discover.

And after listening to your feedback from 2026, we will continue developing the festival carefully — holding on to what works, improving where we can, and creating a programme that leaves enough space to actually enjoy being in Eressos.

SAVE THE DATE: 6th – 18th September 2027
Skala Eressos, Lesvos Island, Greece

Wristband sales, programme announcements and participation information will follow over the coming days, weeks & months.

We can’t wait to welcome you back to Skala Eressos in September 2027!

You will have memories

When we were new at this

Yes, we did many things, then –

All beautiful
