2023 Eleusis welcomes October with Ecoculture Festival, that will take place from October 3 to 6 in Elefsina and the broader region of Thriasian Field, as well as in neighboring cities such as the Municipalities of Aspropyrgos, Korinthia, Loutraki, Perachora and Agioi Theodoroi. The festival is centered around four distinct themes: the concept of ecoculture and how it impacts and relates to life today. The sky, light pollution and its effects on the immediate environment. The water and the challenges the planet faces regarding its scarcity. The Earth, wildfires and the climate crisis.
