All events of the SNFestival are free and open for all, however, due to the finite number of seats to selected events hosted at indoor spaces, priority vouchers will be issued. The priority vouchers, will be distributed one hour before the scheduled start time at the Foyer of the Greek National Opera (GNO) and the Labyrinth.

On Friday, June 23rd, 2017, the evening race SNF RUN: Running into the Future, will be organized for the third consecutive year.

This June, the Summer Nostos Festival (SNFestival) proposes a homecoming (nostos), a collective “return” to all those things and ideas that the arrival of summer means for each one of us, with an entire week of free events for all, that will take place between June 18 and June 25, 2017.
