For the 8th consecutive year, Maydays festival will take place on the 12th and 13th of June at Georgiadis park, Heraklion. The festival features many political and cultural events, responding to the difficult times that gave rise to an urgent need for new ideas and actions.
Maydays festival is established as a political-cultural event on the island. Every year, the weekend program is enriched with events - discussions dealing with crucial and important issues of each period. On the cultural front, the festival invites artists and cultural groups and fills the park with concerts, dance performances, film screenings, book fairs, etc.
This year the organization of the festival was undertaken by an open assembly of festival friends and the newspaper "Road of the left".

On Saturday 13/6, the stage of Maydays will host the music group from Turkey Light in Babylon and encardia for a summer night filled with music and Mediterranean melodies.
