Many events and celebrations take place in the city of Heraklion, as well as in smaller towns and villages throughout the prefecture. Every year the municipality of Heraklion organizes during the summer music concerts but also dance and theater performances by local groups and bands as well as with artists from the rest of Greece and abroad. Most of them take place in the very beautiful area of the "Kazantzakis" garden theater in Oasis.
Generally in most villages the biggest religious holidays are celebrated with a Cretan feast, with traditional music, dance and food. At Easter in many villages large fires are lit where idols of Judas who betrayed Christ are burned. The biggest festivities take place during the summer season and especially on the 15th of August, when festivals are set up in the square of almost every village with traditional music, dance and food.
