10 YEARS ATHENS STREET FOOD FESTIVAL 2016 – 2026
8,9,10 – 15, 16, 17 – 22, 23, 24 May 2026

The biggest food festival of the country returns again in Athens!

The Athens Street Food Festival is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! This May, the month now synonymous with the country’s largest food festival, will be a celebration of all the flavors we’ve enjoyed together on this hearty journey through the cuisines of the world!
We will celebrate the ten years that have transformed Athens’ culinary landscape, from way back in 2016 when concepts like ceviche were unknown to the general public, to today with its vast array of flavors from every corner of our planet!
We’ll celebrate alongside the hundreds of thousands of visitors who, for a decade now, have been coming to the Old OSY Depot in Gazi to sample the unique and delicious flavors found only at the Athens Street Food Festival, all gathered in one place for just 9 days each year!

During the three three-day weekends in May (May 8–9–10, 15–16–17, May 22–23–24), dozens of pop-up stalls featuring both established and up-and-coming chefs will present their own unique take on what makes the best street food, with influences from Japan, Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, Egypt, Spain, Italy, the United States, Greece, and many other countries! Of course, there will also be plenty of vegan options.

Of course, the Athens Street Food Festival is all about the festive atmosphere! Every day, well-known radio producers will be in charge of the music, and every night at 9:00 PM, a big party will kick off with famous DJs.
Hours: Friday 5:00 PM – 12:00 AM, Saturday 12:00 PM – 12:00 AM, Sunday 12:00 PM – 12:00 AM
On Saturdays and Sundays, tickets will be sold for two separate time slots: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM and 6:00 PM – 12:00 AM
