Cultural Association "Alexander the Great"

AGIOS GEORGIOS (Village) GIANNITSA
  The Cultural Association of Agios Georgios "Alexander the Great" is taking place the last three years. It was founded in 1982 but two years later it stopped operating because there was lack of interest of the young people. The comeback to the action was powerful, with a creation of dancing courses and a theatrical team which has presented allready two plays.
  The Association has 62 registered members. The dance master is Dimitrios Mitskas. There is a variety of dancing from Macedonia, Thrace, Epirus and the Black Sea. The costumes of the association represend the Central Macedonia and Thrace. Every year at the village festival the members of the association organise a two-day cultural celebration on 25-26 October, the day of the Church celebration. There are many participations of "Alexander the Great" for other festivals all around Pella prefecture.
