It’s Christmas in the city, and time to celebrate with our annual Christmas Meet Market extravaganza. Get ready for 10 days of festivities, shopping, music, mingling, drinking, eating, free activities and meet-ups this December, Friday 8 - Sunday 17 at the Old Depot, Amaxostasio.
This year we are very proud to announce that we are breaking a record and featuring over 200 #madeinGreece brands over the course of 10 days, showcasing plenty of makers that you know and love plus lots of fresh faces & products too, with more than 50 brands participating for the first time. Our first roster of designers, artisans, collectors & producers will take part from Friday 7 - Sunday 10 December, and then we’re switching it up with a whole new line-up of talent from Monday 11 - Sunday 17 December. Basically, it's 2 Christmas Meet Markets in one, and you don't have to choose which to see - we absolutely invite you to both! Entrance is free, so why not?
Christmas in the Athens
Gathered under one huge industrial roof in the heart of Athens, you’ll find something for everyone and everything for Christmas - from hand-designed clothes, unique jewelry in every medium, accessories galore and kids products made with love, to one-of-a-kind items for your home, self-care goodies, tasty delicacies from local producers, and a whole lot more.
If you start to get hungry, look no further as we have a delicious program of street food from various corners of the globe, including bao buns and burgers, pizza and noodles, freshly baked pastries and sandos sandwiches, Glühwein, greek wine, artisanal coffee, locally brewed beers and plenty of alcohol to get the mood merry.
First a Meet, then a Market: Speaking of merry moods & faithfully following our motto “First we meet, then we market”, there’s not just Christmas shopping on the agenda. Beyond the stalls, you’ll find plenty to do and see. Listen up to non-stop dj sets from our beloved sound scapers covering a wide variety of musical genres.For all our little friends, we’ve got plenty of free activities to keep them entertained including workshops in woodworking, children’s theater, face painting, magic shows and acrobatic adventures. Of course, we wouldn't forget the "big kids". We’ll be featuring a cartographic marathon by Doctors Without Borders where your participation will help others around the world in need, and Drink & Draw events for adults, where with every sip you draw… or vice versa. Plus, we’ll have a very special guest Madame Ginger, hosting workshops for the most delicious holiday truffles and her signature cocktail that was inspired especially for our Christmas event which you will also be able to find exclusively at the Meet Market Bar.

During the Christmas season, those of us who are fortunate enough are searching for presents. We are searching for maps. Many parts of the world suffer from natural disasters or war, making it impossible for them to access aid in an uncertain terrain. That's where we step in. Join us at the Meet Market this December and help us make the maps that don't exist but are necessary for us to find our way and get help where it's needed. Reservation required

Little carpenters in action! The Little Carpenters Workshop is coming to the Meet Market for a series of woodworking workshops for children. Each child will practice on their own bench, safely using basic woodworking tools to build their own unique toy! All workbenches are specially designed to make it easier to carry out tasks such as sawing, drilling or nailing, and all the tools are suitable so that they can be used safely by little hands. Familiarity with the world of construction offers the opportunity for children to expand their knowledge and perception while building their confidence through the magic of creation.

Let’s share fairy tales from around the world combined with live music. The fairy tales that have been chosen are stories of self-reflection and care, empathy and love. Of course, like all fairy tales, there are twists and turns, funny moments and sometimes they’re also a little scary! Music doesn't just accompany fairy tales, it is also the hero. Story telling by Little Yogis is ideal for children and for the whole family - so come all together!
