Excellent organization and spectacular show of the SHOWCASE Music and Dance Festival. With incredible professionalism and talent, the music and dance groups participating from all over Greece, performed the art of dance and music in the best way on stage and unfolded their creation and talent to the general public !!! The city of Kalamata hosted around 130 participants from all over the Peloponnese area, Attica and Central Greece, while from Messinia the participants alsowere around 100! Hundreds of guests watched the festival with pleasure until the end.
The waterfront of the port of Kalamata was flooded with people and filled with smiles, colors, sounds, musical instruments and voices, intensity, passion, music and dance creations in various genres with imaginative costumes!
The musical and dance alternations, the elaborate lighting in the extremely landscaped area of the port of Kalamata won the impressions with the loudest applause! All music and dance groups were awarded for their creation as many different genres and styles were presented on stage. This diversity praised the creativity of the artists who received a lot of applause!
The SHOWCASE Festival (Music & Art Dance Performances) of Promotion of Creation & Talent started in Kalamata, the flagship of the Peloponnese area and may travel to other Peloponnesian cities in the coming years.
It is obvious that this event, as a private initiative, enhanced the cultural product of the city of Kalamata, increasing tourist traffic. Attracting people from the Peloponnese area and the rest of Greece enlivened the coastal zone of Kalamata and contributed to the strengthening of our local economy. Obviously such organized events – art and culture festivals, are a first-class opportunity to highlight Peloponnese as a magical destination to attract more visitors in the future.
