The Andros International Festival started in July 2015 and is held every summer with great success. The performances start in the last week of July and end towards the end of August.

In the seven years of its operation, great theatrical performances, concerts of Greek and classical music and local groups such as the Philharmonic Orchestra, theatre scenes and dance groups of Andros have been presented.

The aim of the Festival is to present quality theatrical performances, remarkable concerts of classical music, jazz and dance. The main body of the Festival every year is the theatrical performances.

The Andros Open Theatre is in Chora Andros between the neoclassical Town Hall (Voulgari building) and the Lyceum. Its inspirer and main financier is the Andriot Alcibiades Tattos. The Theatre is built on an idyllic slope with a natural slope protected from the wind and a panoramic view to the south.

“A theatre that will seem to have been there forever”. This was the original idea of the architects Kyriaki Kondylatos and Konstantinos Loukos who undertook to realize the initially difficult idea.

Its open stage refers to the canon of classical stages and constitutes one of the most daring interventions in the public space of Andros. Work began in July 2014 on a plot of land owned by the Municipality of Andros and has a capacity of 870 seats.

The Andros International Festival is organised by the NGO “Friends of the Andros Festival”. Its supporter and helper is the Municipality of Andros.
