Cultural and musical events in Athens and Thessaloniki

Overview

Summer cultural and cinema activities continue across Greece, transitioning into a diverse autumn schedule. In Athens, musical programming for early September includes Spyros Grammenos at Technopolis, a K-POP Fever live show, Stavros Xarchakos at the Lycabettus Theatre, Kostis Maravellias at Alsos Peristeriou, and the ‘Petrokarava’ musical production. On September 6, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center hosts a Beatles Symphonic concert.

The theatrical scene in Athens expands in mid-September with the State Theatre of Northern Greece (KThBE) bringing the musical ‘This Night Remains’ to the Maria Callas Municipal Music Theatre. Premiering September 19, the production explores Greek nightlife in the 1980s and 1990s. Additionally, the comedy ‘Everything Goes Wrong!’ is set to return to the Athina Theatre this winter.

Athens is also being highlighted as a destination for cultural city breaks, driven by events such as a large-scale concert by Anna Vissi at the OAKA stadium. This event is expected to draw visitors from Cyprus and other regions to experience the city’s nightlife and historical sites like the Acropolis Museum.

In Thessaloniki, the “Cosmo-polis” fashion event, ‘New Waterfront-New Runway 12,’ celebrates the city’s multicultural history using recycled materials and commemorates the first women’s rights gathering of 1908. The seventh annual Connected We Stand Festival also returns to the Thessaloniki New Waterfront, involving approximately 100 civil society organizations. Looking ahead, the 29th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival has announced new awards for its March 2027 edition, including the ‘Eurimages New Lab Award – Outreach’ and the ‘ARTE European Talents Development Award.’ Other regional highlights include the Triandria Festival, featuring traditional Greek nights and artist Panos Vlachos.
