Overview
About the event
August Moon Festival is a festival celebrated in Greece on the day of the full moon in August. This year, it falls on August 9. The August Moon is the brightest moon of the year, so much so that it almost rivals the sun, almost though. The day ushers in different festivals, with the most-awaited, being the Olympic games. The Olympic Games were held in Ancient Olympia in honor of Zeus, the king of the gods. They were usually held in August and done every four years. In modern times, however, it is a matter of luck if the opening night of the Olympics falls on the night of the August Moon.
