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.

Mapathon from Doctors Without Borders

Wednesday 13.12 | 18:00 - 21:00

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
