On this Day in Greece - May 5th & 6th

May 5th and 6th - The Locust Festival of Epidaurus. You can celebrate the salvation of Epidaurus during this festival that commemorates a miraculous moment when a plague of locusts left the town when icons were carried through the streets on the feast day of the Seraphim, celebrated now.

The iconic procession is recreated on the night of May 5th, with a festival on the sixth.

While Epidaurus is renowned for its excellent ancient theater, this takes place in the seaside town itself.
