SUMMARY:Athens Urban Picnic 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Athens Urban Picnic is back\, and for the fifth year in a row\, we are keeping the tradition alive: May Day in the city starts on the grass! For the fifth year running\, we are launching at our favourite annual hangout to welcome May exactly as it should be: outdoors\, together\, and under the glorious spring sun. So\, dust off those picnic blankets and join us at Plato’s Academy Park—a historic green oasis which will once again transform into a giant\, vibrant hug in the heart of the city\, bursting with music\, colour\, and great fun.\n\nIf you’ve joined us before\, you know the score: the Athens Urban Picnic is more of a “vibe” than just an event. It’s all about sprawling across the grass with your mates\, spontaneous dancing\, and the sound of kids’ laughter mixing with the music—all in all\, living and breathing the city a little differently for the day.\n\nWhat’s on the cards? Starting early in the morning\, the city’s top radio producers will be spinning the perfect tracks to keep the energy high. Little ones can dive into a world of imagination through creative workshops\, musical theatre\, and interactive games throughout the park. As the sun begins to set\, the mood gets even more magical with open-air screenings and that lovely “summer is coming” breeze.\n\nIt’s an experience that truly has it all: music\, art\, relaxation\, and the best company in town. So\, grab your mat\, pack your hamper\, put on your brightest smile\, and help us kick off the This is Athens City Festival 2026. After all\, spring in Athens is meant to be shared.

SUMMARY:Athens Asian Food Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Kypseli Municipal Market is set to be flooded with the incredible aromas and flavours of the East for a two-day celebration of Asian gastronomy and culture\, held as part of the This is Athens City Festival.

You’ll have the chance to experience traditional tea rituals\, discover the nuances of sake\, and tuck into legendary Asian sweets.\n\nBetween bites\, you can browse pop-up corners filled with unique products and handmade crafts. It’s a full-on sensory feast that brings a burst of Asian energy right into the heart of Kypseli.\n\nThe ultimate weekend pitstop for anyone craving authentic bao\, spice\, and a bit of a wander through Athens’ most eclectic market.

SUMMARY:Fairytales with Naya Oikonomopoulou
DESCRIPTION:Recycling through stories (followed by a painting workshop using brown recycling bins!) \n\nThe Stone Soup: When three hungry and poor travellers arrive in a village\, they go from door to door asking for a little food\, but no one gives them anything. Everyone is shut inside their homes and unwilling to share anything with others. So\, in order to satisfy their hunger\, they begin to prepare what will become the most delicious stone soup in the world. In the end\, all the villagers contribute to the recipe with whatever they have—things that “on their own cannot become anything” and would otherwise go to waste. What certainly does not go to waste is joy and open-heartedness. \n\nMusic: Maria Georgopoulou\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Theatre Battles in Ancient Athens
DESCRIPTION:The This is Athens City Festival invites explorers of all ages to an educational adventure that reimagines ancient Athens through the eyes of two real-life legends. Auteas and Philoxenides\, two “choregoi” (the visionary sponsors of the time) from Aexone\, today’s Glyfada\, are making a symbolic comeback 2\,300 years later to guide us through the thrilling world of theatrical competitions.\n\nWhat exactly was the role of a sponsor back then? How were the city’s massive festivals organised? And why was theatre so much more than just a night out?\n\nTaking its cue from a rare honorary decree from 313/2 BC housed in the Epigraphical Museum\, this session is specially designed for families with children aged 7 to 10. Through storytelling\, discovery\, and a hands-on creative workshop\, kids will dive into ancient drama and the city’s public life in a way that’s interactive\, fast-paced\, and fun. It’s a chance to pull the past into the present with imagination\, play\, and a real connection to Athens’ cultural soul.\n\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.
