Demographic Data as a Factor of Differentiating the Effects of a Small-Scale Dance Event. The Case of the Fair in Vitsa, Zagori

Abstract

The institution of the festival is the main reason for the villagers to return to their birthplace. Initially, the festival was a worship
process that honored the Saint of each closed social group of relatives and through the forging of social cohesion, it gave way
to broader festive events that concern the entire community.The above events have broader dimensions, which shape the
phenomenon of the festival within a framework of a supra-kinship local community [1].
