The festival
Last year we opened a gate
that never closes again.
18,000 people stepped into our world and experienced something Athens had not seen before. This year we return bigger, darker and creepier — in a vast new industrial venue.
The Athens Halloween Festival is Greece's first large-scale festival dedicated to Halloween, horror and fantasy. It is made for pop culture fans, cosplayers, groups of friends and families looking for something different in the city.
