TiACF24: Flare the Square

Spread the word: The summer months are no longer the main act in Athens. May is.

This is Athens - City Festival is back for its third edition this May with free admission*. The biggest annual spring festival in the Greek capital will take place throughout May and will even be stealing a few days from June. You see, this year's programme proved to be so packed, we couldn't possibly squeeze it into just 31 days. Thoroughly designed with a sustainable mindset, the festival’s rich agenda includes more than 250 events that will take place all over Athens in more diverse areas than ever before.

The Ministry of Concrete, Athens' revered hub for all things skate, joins forces with TiACF to host the most exhilarating skateboarding celebration of spring. Watch as sun-drenched Kotzia Square is transformed into a bespoke skate park, setting the stage for an epic spectacle that welcomes both seasoned pros and budding amateurs to compete. Come and meet the skateboarding tribes of Athens and enjoy live concerts, DJ sets and delicious street food.

* Most events are free entrance and require no tickets, to the exception of some concerts that have a priced ticket, and some events that are free entrance but require pre-registration or are invitation-only. All related information to each of the festival's events can be found on the festival's website, under the page for each event.
