The ‘White Night at Artemida’, which was scheduled for today, Friday 2 October, has been postponed due to the weather conditions. The event, centred around a major concert by Kostas Bigalis and Polina, has been rescheduled for next Friday, 9 October.
The decision was announced on Thursday evening by Panagiotis Lambrou, Deputy Mayor for Culture of the Municipality of Spata–Artemida, in a Facebook post:
“Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions expected tomorrow, we have been forced to take the decision to postpone the event. The safety of our staff and of all our fellow citizens who wish to take part is our top priority.”
The postponement comes whilst a special weather warning issued by the National Meteorological Service remains in force, forecasting a further deterioration in conditions from Friday afternoon and particularly on Saturday.

- A big concert featuring Kostas Bigalis and Polina at 21:00
The event is organised by the Municipality of Spata–Artemida in collaboration with SEVEA.
What are the arrangements for 9 October?
