SUMMARY:Fairytales with Georgia Chaikali
DESCRIPTION:A garden of fairy tales!\n\nGeorgia Chaikali\, Marina Dakanali and Ioanna Rigas weave a world made of words\, sounds and images. A form of storytelling that is not just speech\, but experience—rhythm\, breath\, glances. Alongside them\, music becomes a living presence: voice\, percussion and santouri create a vivid sonic landscape that carries the audience away.\n\nA children’s performance that is not only for children\, but for anyone who wishes—if only for a while—to return to a place where everything is possible.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:The Gift That Remained Unopened!
DESCRIPTION:A secret parcel\, hidden among the centuries-old thickets of the National Garden\, awaits its first explorers. For the Athens City Festival 2026\, the B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation invites young citizens to an unconventional adventure blurring the lines between detective work and fine art. Armed with magnifying glasses and “scientific” gloves\, children will track the artistic footprints of the legendary Stephen Antonakos.\n\nDrawing inspiration from the artist’s iconic “Travel Collages” and “Packages”\, participants dive into the world of conceptual art through immersive role-playing and team missions. They will discover how a simple journey transforms into a collage and how a sealed package can contain entire universes\, eventually crafting their own original masterpieces using organic materials gathered directly from the Garden’s ecosystem.\n\nFor 50 years\, this mysterious “gift” has sat patiently in the heart of the city’s most iconic green space. By turning Antonakos’ legacy of sealed artworks into a living\, breathing mystery\, this event offers a rare\, hands-on exploration of the intersection between art and the environment.\n\nMeeting point: Entrance on Vasilissis Sofias Avenue\, opposite the B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation.\n\nThis activity is only available in Greek.

SUMMARY:Fairytales with Naya Oikonomopoulou
DESCRIPTION:Now\, silence… and all ears!\n\nFolk tales from the oral traditions of Greece and around the world form a precious mosaic of human experience. These are stories not written on paper\, but shaped from mouth to mouth\, travelling through the centuries to reach us today\, carrying with them the fears\, hopes and dreams of entire generations.\n\nIn this performance\, storytelling becomes more than narration—it becomes a living experience. Traditional songs act as the sonic memory of our culture\, awakening emotions and images from a time when people gathered around a hearth to share stories. At the same time\, original music embraces these ancient tales\, giving them a fresh\, contemporary breath that bridges past and present.\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? Taking 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.
