The non-governmental organisation Parenthesis, in cooperation with the Municipality of Thessaloniki and with the support of the Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities, has organised the first edition of 'Pic Nic Urban Festival', taking place from 30 August to 1 September in the Ancient Roman Agora in Thessaloniki.
