Confirmed dates and programme
The organiser confirmed 7–11 October for the fourth edition and eight venues across Thessaloniki, with a live programme naming individual performances and venues.
The 2026 edition has ended. Its programme, venues and ticket terms are an archived record, not a guide to the next edition; Salonica will refresh this page only when the organiser publishes official dates.
Choose a base by venue
Start with the shows you actually want. Aristotelous and the central waterfront make a flexible first base for performances spread around town; Ladadika or the port edge suit a west-centre evening, while the eastern centre can shorten a return from a venue near the White Tower.
The festival is not at one fairground pavilion. Plot every booked venue and the final journey home before choosing accommodation; Ano Poli adds an uphill return after a late show.
Tickets, arrival and the late return
Book tickets through the organiser’s own event pages and check whether a show is seated, free or ticketed. Do not assume a single pass covers every performance.
Use the airport and car-free guides for arrival. Check the last bus or metro for your exact evening, or arrange a walk or taxi that suits the group; ask the venue about step-free access rather than assuming it.
Build a realistic festival stay
Leave time between venues and choose food near the performance that ends your evening. Dimitria overlaps across October, and the Beer Festival overlaps 8–11 October, so compare plans before fixing a busy night.
Choose performances first, a base second and accommodation terms third. Reopen the organiser’s live programme before departure; this guide does not promise a final line-up, seat availability or room prices.
