The Greek capital is organising a month of 250-plus events organised by the Athens municipality for the 3rd edition of “This is Athens – City Festival” between May 1 and June 2, 2024, ANA reports.
Concerts, street parties, rambles, original gastronomic experiences, sporting events, workshops and other activities are planned in all city centre neighbourhoods, even the least expected.
The CEO of the Athens Municipality’s Development and Tourist Promotion Company (EATA), Ioannis Georgizas, said the programme was the result of close collaboration with several cultural and creative groups, as well as official bodies, with a series of events taking place in parks, squares, streets, museums and cultural spaces, with a focus on sustainability.
The events kick off with the Athens Urban Picnic at Akadimia Platonos on May 1, featuring live music, DJ sets and a kite show, among others. They include a festival dedicated to Mother’s Day on May 12, a Street Outdoors Party at Koumoundourou Square on the same day, a storytelling event on May 16, a skateboarding contest on May 18, a fashion show featuring traditional costumes at the Dora Stratou Theatre on May 19, a latin music festival (La Saramuya Fiesta) on May 26 and many other activities. The events end with the Athens All-Star Party in the Lycabettus parking lot on June 2.
