Why is this program drawing attention?

The range is wide-markets and festivals sit next to a heritage-focused walk and a specialist conservation conference. It mixes fun with learning. Families and schools feel welcome, and Gazi’s industrial heritage stays in the spotlight.

What changed since last time?

Several pillars return or evolve: the Vinyl Market and Vegan Life Festival are back; the theatrical walk continues into its second season; the Kids Radio Halloween festival marks its 4th year; the IPMS Hellas show reaches its 44th edition; and Nevronas FESTival School Edition makes its debut.
