Travel Secrets
August nights in Athens with music and open air cinema at the SNFCC
In August, the last month of summer, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center celebrates one year since it opened its doors and invites everyone in the city to take a break, enjoying music, sports, film screenings and creative workshops.
Summer nights see us out and about, and music pours out of every SNFCC area. In August, Microclimata -the music event series inaugurated in May- culminates in a concert by Vassilis Dokakis at the Labyrinth. Each of these past months, a different artist at an unexpected SNFCC spot evoked a distinct auditory microclimate.
Two favorite music series return at the height of the summer: Jazz Chronicles presents the Christos Rafalides Trio: Near & Dear, taking us on a journey through the sounds of this free music language, while on August 26 at the Great Lawn, the SNFCC once again welcomes the Parklife concert series, with favorite tunes from popular musicals performed by the Athens State Orchestra at the Stavros Niarchos Park!
Summer means open air cinema, and the Park Your Cinema screening series pays tribute to the heritage of French cinema, showcasing some of its most seminal films signed by legendary directors, such as Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, Louis Malle and Jacques Tati. Moreover, Park Your Cinema Kids awaits our little guests with big-screen surprises!
As always, popular outdoor activities, including sailing, kayaking, family-friendly games, air hoop dance, and much more await us at various SNFCC locations, while we can also enjoy the new food and beverage spots that opened in June.
Once again, admission to all SNFCC sports, educational and cultural events is free of charge thanks to the exclusive grant of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, offering visitors from Greece and all around the world the opportunity to be actively involved in our daily activity.
