The Medieval Rose Festival is a non-governmental and non-profit cultural organisation. Founded in 2005, it aimed to establish, organise and run a medieval festival οn Rhodes during which, the history, traditions and legends of medieval Rhodes are recreated through events, workshops and games. The Medieval Rose Festival organisation has sought and studied the relevant historical resources, so as to faithfully recreate a time that has left its mark on the island and its cultural heritage.

After initially running a Medieval Fair in 2006, the Medieval Festival was realised in May 2007 with the aim of being an annual event.

During the festival, there will be displays of traditional dancing, archery, jugglers, horse riding, stilt walking, live music concerts, theatre presentations, games and workshops.

The 18th Medieval Rose Festival will be held from October 10 to the 12th, mainly in the area of the moat under the D’Amboise Gate. However, during the festival, other special events will also be held around the Medieval Town, including concerts and parades of themed participants through the town. For full details, we advise you to visit one of the tourist information offices in early October for the latest programme.
