This is Athens City Festival

This is Athens City Festival, a new annual festival that kicks off this May, is a celebration for locals and visitors of the city of Athens, inviting them to a one-month, multi-layered buffet of more than 300 exciting events!

As part of the activities, museums, cultural institutions, organizations, and businesses will open their doors to welcome Greeks and foreign visitors, while, at the same time, concerts, themed hiking and bike tours, gastronomic nights, and various sports events will take place. 

Every event will highlight a different area of Athens with the aim to bring residents and visitors closer to the city through powerful and original experiences: from an all-day picnic at Plato Academy to a street party at the Varvakios market, a walk to the National Observatory of Athens or a jazz concert at the Acropolis Museum.

This is Athens City Festival is an event of “This is Athens”, the official guide for promoting the city abroad, organized by the Athens Development and Destination Management Agency (EATA) with the participation of businesses, collective bodies, and foundations active in the field of culture.
