SUMMARY:Fun Vibes Family Festival
DESCRIPTION:One of the city’s most beautiful green lungs is being transformed into a massive playground for a day. As part of the This is Athens City Festival\, Rizari Park is hosting an all-day fest dedicated to kids\, families\, and the pure joy of getting active.\n\nThink of it as the ultimate outdoor reset. Through a mix of sports\, games\, and creative activities\, this is a chance for families to bond away from the glow of their screens. Whether you’re competing in team games or trying out new wellness activities\, the focus is on teamwork\, well-being\, and all-around joy.\n\nIt’s the perfect excuse to grab the trainers\, round up the kids\, and head to the park for a day of fresh air and high energy. In a city as bustling as Athens\, this is a rare moment to slow down (or speed up!) and reconnect with nature and each other through play.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Cracks in the Narrative: A Performance Walk
DESCRIPTION:The students of the Athens Conservatoire Drama School\, under the guidance of Professor Antonis Volanakis\, invite us to rediscover the city centre through a subversive new lens. The iconic Athenian Trilogy (the Academy\, the University\, and the National Library)\, the Korai 4 Memorial\, and Klafthmonos Square are no longer monuments “frozen” in time. Instead\, they awaken and find a new voice through the bodies and performances of the city’s rising talent.\n\nIn this unique urban takeover\, the traditional guided tour makes way for a performance that seeks out the “cracks” in the official story of Athens. It’s an invitation to listen to the city itself as it speaks of knowledge\, forgetting\, and the living present. Moving between these historic urban stages\, the action unfolds in the open air\, proving that history is a living pulse\, not a museum piece. \n\nStudents: Agapi Theodoridou\, Angeliki Andreadaki\, Alexandros Kavrakos\, Antonis Lymperis\, Georgianna Zouganeli\, Giannis Bariamis\, Giannis Fountas\, Zoe Tsirouki\, Kleio Christopoulou\, Lefteris Argyros\, Manos Karanikolas\, Marlen Kypriotaki\, Markella Papadimitriou\, Panagiotis Regkas\, Stella Selpesi\, Tasos Bekyros\, Filemon Adamou\, Christos Kekridis\, Christina Karakosta\, Christina Mitrousia.

SUMMARY:Connect Athens: All Day Street Festival
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival in collaboration with IASIS (Civil Non-Profit Organisation) and the Connect Athens Youth Centre\, through the second edition of the Connect Athens Festival\, is organising a full-day celebration on the pedestrian street of Fokionos Negri.\n\nFollowing our “Building Bridges for the Mental Health of At-Risk Youth” event on 22 May\, Connect Athens is bringing the conversation from the panels straight to the heart of the city. Under the motto #bringyourgrandma\, we’re putting theory into practice\, turning “”connection”” into a shared experience for every generation.\n\nDive into empathy-building activities and original AI workshops inspired by the memories of our elders. Catch street theatre\, global dance performances\, and an open forum featuring influencers and public figures sharing the stories that unite us. We’re wrapping things up with a massive music-and-dance party featuring multicultural bands and DJs.\n\nIt’s all about proving that mental well-being and acceptance are built within the community. When generations meet\, we create a safe\, bright space for everyone.

SUMMARY:It’s Story Time
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival hosts a theatrical performance by the Athens Conservatoire Drama School titled “It’s Story Time” at Drakopoulou Park. Six short narratives\, inspired by iconic works of the classical and contemporary repertoire\, come to life under the direction of Sofia Paschou and Alexandros Chrysanthopoulos. With storytelling as the ultimate theatrical tool\, the performers explore different modes of expression\, alternating voices\, roles\, and perspectives.\n\nThe stage transforms into a living laboratory where the story is not simply presented\, but “built” in real-time before the eyes of the audience. This is a collective narrative exercise that bets on the power of presence and imagination\, offering a unique theatrical experience in the heart of the city.
