Festivals

Christmas in Piraeus. Unique and imaginative are the ideas for celebrating Christmas in the city - every year, in fact, there are more and more surprises. Piraeus transforms, and everyone gets into the magical and joyful atmosphere of the holidays with neighborhood lighting, digital displays, and entertaining activities for both young and old. The lighting of the large Christmas tree in front of the Municipal Theatre of Piraeus marks the official start of the celebrations and is broadcast live. Christmas "villages" are set up in the squares, educational, sports, and environmental activities are organized, and the Municipal Philharmonic Orchestra participates every day. The decorated and brightly lit shops add their own touches to the festive atmosphere, and streets are filled with Santa Clauses, wooden creatures, elves, mascots, and magicians. A city-festival!
Carnival in Piraeus. Wherever you look while walking in the city center and neighborhoods during Carnival, you will smile and enjoy! Dance performances, lively music, costumed participants, carnival parades, acrobats, and "street musicians," a Carnival train ride, and many other events are organized by the Municipality of Piraeus for children and adults alike. On Clean Monday, colorful kites fill the sky and are offered for free at central points in the city.
Festival of Flowers. The impressive flower festival (April 29 - May 15) floods Kanari Square with colors and fragrances every year. It is organized by the Municipality of Piraeus in collaboration with Floricultural Cooperatives. At the stands, visitors will find wonderful and rare flowers and plants for their gardens, courtyards, and balconies. A welcome to spring with the blue sea as a backdrop.
