Carnival at Technopolis

It’s time for colourful costumes, confetti explosions and dancing in the streets. Apokries (our version of carnival) is just around the corner which means that the city is getting ready for a three-week celebration that allows for nothing except good vibes. The City of Athens has planned a jam-packed festive agenda for all types, with all sorts of events spread around every neighbourhood. Follow the sound of the bands playing at the city’s squares, take part in a street parade or a folklore custom revival, and sign up for face-painting shenanigans or any of the numerous games planned for your young ones. Parties, street performances and lots more seal the carnival deal, all with free entrance. Check our list of events here.

Just before the carnival celebrations come to a peak on Carnival Sunday and Clean Monday, Technopolis has something very special planned for everyone. And we do mean everyone. A whole day of festivities will take place starting at 10 am and reaching well into the wee hours. The city’s most eclectic radio stations will be taking over the decks, followed by live music performances (a great way to introduce yourselves to our local carnival tunes, cheesy 80s disco hits included.) Family-friendly events, games, and a very promising bubble parade are included in the schedule.
