🎵 Salamina Swing & Roll Festival

Salamina Swing & Roll Festival returns on October 2–4, 2026 for a weekend full of music, dance and seaside vibes on Salamina Island, just a short hop from Athens, Greece.

Organised by the Road Runners dance team, the festival turns the island into a swing playground by the sea — three days and nights of live bands, dance competitions, shows and social dancing that runs until the early morning hours.

Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop and Balboa lead the steps all weekend, bringing together dancers of every level in a warm, energetic Greek swing community.

Days are relaxed and sociable; nights turn into vibrant parties with live music and performances by the water — all hosted under one roof at the seaside SAbbal Hotel.
