An eight-day celebration that we long to relive!

This year, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) welcomed us once again to a large summer celebration; a celebration for the entire city, for every Athens resident and visitor. The Summer Nostos Festival(SNFestival) brought with it all the elements of the summer: enjoyment, carelessness, beautiful memories, even thunderstorms! It is an open and welcoming festival, with programming that encourages the peaceful coexistence of all people without exclusion, while welcoming everyone, both individually and collectively.

The Festival included music, dance, sports, original performances, discussions, games, contemporary art, the 7th SNF International Conference on Philanthropy and an impressive line-up with the biggest names from Greece and abroad.
