Christmas World at the SNFCC

Athens switches to festive mode as the SNFCC lights up its Christmas World. On Saturday, 29 November at 7 pm, join the city in the Agora for the official switch-on, open to all, hosted by actress Evgenia Samara.
Eighty illuminated plane trees, three towering Christmas trees, and the glowing BioLumina Light Installations Festival will turn the Park into a luminous wonderland. The Canal Fountains will start dancing to Christmas tunes, while the Ice Rink -never mind the weather- will open for skaters of every level.

The night will open with the Loop Quartet, reimagining festive classics with their signature vocal looping and polyphony. Rising star Nina Mazani will follow with a vibrant, jazz- and swing-infused set featuring hits like Careless Whisper, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! and Let’s Get Loud. The season starts with lights, music, and winter magic.

And the magic of Christmas doesn’t stop here. Glide on the Ice Rink along the Canal, explore handmade treasures at the Makers’ Market, and cosy up for Festive Film Nights under the stars. As night falls, sip festive cocktails at the 360° Pop-Up Bar, a glowing Christmas lantern with DJs spinning upbeat grooves.
