Carnival party

The Athens district of Mets is holding its fifth annual Carnival party and parade, organized by the Arditros cultural center and the area's elementary school PTA. The parade - marching to the tunes of the Batuca Latin music band and with support from the dancers of Arte Brasileira Atenas - will start on Harvouri Street at 11.30 a.m.

Ancient Greece is the theme of Gagarin's Carnival party with live music from a trio of local acts on Sunday, February 26. Revelers are invited to pluck emblematic characters from ancient history books and give them a new story that jives with the present. Doors open at 10 p.m. and admission costs 7 euros.
