25 Years Of Athens Jazz With The Richest Parallel Events Program In Festival History
With a celebratory mood and rhythm, the musical nights of Athens Jazz take off with a series of exciting parallel events for all ages.
May 25 – 31, 2026
Technopolis City of Athens
Free Admission
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Athens Jazz returns to the Technopolis City of Athens from Monday, May 25 to Sunday, May 31, featuring a rich program of parallel events that frame a dynamic lineup of 20 bands from Greece and abroad. In a festive atmosphere charged with creative energy, Technopolis transforms for an entire week into a vibrant meeting point for music, art, and immersive experiences, hosting activities for every age group. Exhibitions, installations, performances, a film screening, the Meet Market, children's activities, and parties come together to form a multifaceted parallel program, giving this year’s edition a distinct character and creating a festival experience unlike any before.
A special place in the 25th edition's parallel events program belongs to the photography exhibition "25 Years of Athens Jazz: Images of a Journey." Moving from the stage to the photographic frame, the exhibition—curated by Thodoris Markou and Vangelis Patsialos—offers a retrospective look at the festival's history. It captures some of the most unforgettable moments of this long-standing musical institution through the lenses of 10 photographers who have been historically linked to the festival's journey.

Concurrently, the comic book exhibition "Musicoma," held in collaboration with Comicdom CON Athens, presents pieces from the journey of the interactive comic of the same name by Maria-Olia Ntakogianni, creating a unique dialogue between imagery, narrative, and music. The exhibition includes guided tours led by the creator, while teenage visitors will have the opportunity to participate in a special workshop that connects the core principles of comic book creation with the history of jazz, following a dedicated tour through the world of the artwork.
The festival energy peaks with thrilling experiences presented by the Grand Sponsor of Technopolis, COSMOTE TELEKOM, at the ART/TECH AREA by COSMOTE TELEKOM. Continuing to explore the intersection of art and technology, COSMOTE TELEKOM presents live sketching with doodles by the Do Do and Do creative team, a unique multi-performance project by Dimitris Vassilakis, and an impressive interactive hologram installation in collaboration with the Athens Digital Arts Festival.
Two steady companions of Athens Jazz in recent years, the radio station Kosmos 93.6 and the Meet Market, will also be present at this anniversary edition. The now-established Kosmos Jazz Party returns on Saturday, May 30, at the Gazarte Roof Stage with a unique mix of Latin and jazz rhythms, while the station's broadcast van will be stationed at Technopolis during two of the festival's most vibrant days—Monday, May 25 and Friday, May 29—broadcasting the festival’s musical lineup live. And of course, The Meet Market #JazzEdition returns with a summer mood, featuring more than 100 exhibitors and a rich program of side activities, including DJ sets and children's entertainment, turning Technopolis into an open-air hub for creativity and social gathering.
The parallel program also features a special film screening for cinephile festival-goers, expanding this year’s Athens Jazz experience beyond the live music stage. Johan Grimonprez’s film, "Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat," screening on Saturday, May 30, blends political tension, jazz music, and historical intrigue against the backdrop of the 1960 Congo, illuminating the profound relationship between music, politics, and history.
Finally, the 25th Athens Jazz dedicates a special day—Sunday, May 31—to the festival’s youngest friends through Jazz for Kids. This program is packed with activities where music becomes a catalyst for expression, play, and participation. A treasure hunt, an arts and crafts workshop, music-movement and theater activities, face painting, and a specialized workshop for crafting wooden musical instruments all combine to create a festive experience full of rhythm, imagination, and creativity.
Detailed Program of Parallel Events for the 25th Athens Jazz:
Monday, May 25 – Sunday, May 31
Photography Exhibition: "25 Years of Athens Jazz: Images of a Journey"
Technopolis | Neoi Fournoi
Athens Jazz celebrates its 25th anniversary with a retrospective photography exhibition dedicated to the evolution of an institution that has championed music as a space for communication, connection, and shared experience. Ten photographers—regular patrons and companions of the festival throughout the years—present images born from the live presence of music: the silences between the notes, the glances, the movements, and those moments of absolute devotion to sound and improvisation. The exhibition captures the relationship between musicians and the audience, the intensity of musical creation, and the deep human expression that jazz evokes. Through diverse perspectives, it highlights the spirit of a festival that, for a quarter of a century, has remained a gathering place for people sharing the same love for music and the live listening experience.

5th Olympic Day Run: Ancient Olympia Celebrates 130 Years Of The Modern Olympic Games
On Saturday, June 13, 2026, the 5th "Olympic Day Run" Ancient Olympia makes a dynamic return, inviting runners of all ages from Greece and around the world to participate in the country's only official Olympic road race, honoring the revival of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Ideal.
As part of the global celebrations for International Olympic Day—established by the International Olympic Committee to commemorate the revival of the Games—Greece takes center stage on the global Olympic map. The "Olympic Day Run" serves as the flagship event for Olympic Day celebrations in more than 100 countries, and hosting it in Ancient Olympia powerfully highlights Greece's foundational contribution to the global Olympic movement.
This year's event holds a special significance as it marks 130 years since the revival of the Olympic Games (1896–2026). More than a century after the rebirth of humanity’s premier sporting institution, Ancient Olympia once again becomes the epicenter, sending a powerful message of unity and peace to the entire world.
The "Olympic Day Run" Ancient Olympia is not just a race; it is an authentic Olympic experience of high symbolism and international prestige. It is the only race in Greece permitted to carry the globally recognized symbol of the Olympic rings and is held under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, bringing unique prestige and authenticity to the event.
The global Olympic family will be out in full force this year, featuring Olympic medalists, Olympians, distinguished athletes, and participants from the 66th International Session for Young Olympic Ambassadors. More than 200 Ambassadors from 80 countries and five continents will carry the message of International Olympic Day to every corner of the planet, amplifying the event's international reach and placing Greece at the heart of global interest. Olympians, Paralympians, prominent athletes, amateur runners, and young children will all unite their steps in the sacred land of Ancient Olympia, participating in the 8K, 4K, and 1.5K races with stunning views of the Ancient Olympia archaeological site.
For the 5th consecutive year, the celebration of International Olympic Day at the birthplace of the Olympic Games is organized by the Olympic Museum of Thessaloniki and the International Olympic Academy, in collaboration with the Municipality of Ancient Olympia, the Hellenic Olympic Committee, and the Hellenic Olympic Winners Association, with the active participation of the global Olympic community.

Ghostwriter Needed
I am a German coach and founder of a new brand called KKM – Kern Kraft Mensch. I am looking for an experienced female ghostwriter/editor to help me create my first non‑fiction book (Volume 1: focus on the Basic and SELF), which will also serve as the foundation for my seminar program.
The first edition will be written and published in German (my native language). The style I am aiming for is a mix of brain‑friendly, humorous and interactive teaching, simple but meaningful storytelling, and accessible popular psychology – a book that feels like a mix of personal coaching and mini‑seminar.
I am looking for a German‑speaking professional (native or near‑native) with strong experience in non‑fiction (personal development, coaching, psychology, business). Good English skills are a plus, as I plan a potential English edition in the future. The target is to complete the German manuscript by September 2026.
