Pumpkin carving, ghost hunting, spooky labs, movie screenings, stand-up comedy, art workshops and sweet corners — just some of the tricks (and treats) awaiting visitors at Kypseli Municipal Market this weekend as it hosts the first-ever Athens Halloween Festival.

Vegan flavors, vinyl records, independent publishing, and Nigerian rhythms — four free events bringing Athens alive this first weekend of October

This weekend, April 12–13, more than 50 ceramic artists bring clay to life, transforming Kypseli Municipal Market into a hub for ceramic art lovers and curious newcomers alike. Highlights include live demonstrations of traditional techniques such as wheel throwing and Raku firing by acclaimed ceramists.
