==The Early Development of Music Festivals==
The earliest recorded music festival is arguably the Pythian Games that took place in the 6th century BC. These games took place every four years and were similar to the well known ancient Olympic games. This event was more focused on games and athletic competitions, but the games were dedicated to Apollo, who was the Greek god of music. Apollo is often depicted with a lyre and the Pythian Games were a chance to hold competitions among competing musicians.
