Street Mode Festival Thessaloniki in Thessaloniki
An annual street-culture festival in Thessaloniki, founded in 2009 as a small graffiti and skate event in the suburb of Thermi and now hosting more than eighty international bands across five stages at the FIX Open-Air Multiplex, alongside graffiti, breakdance, BMX and parkour. The festival treats visual art, action sports and music as equally central rather than secondary attractions around a headline concert.
A graffiti jam, a skate contest and a single live band performance made up the entire programme of the first Street Mode Festival in September 2009, held in the central square of Thermi, a Thessaloniki suburb, and conceived, organised and produced by Giannis Efstathiou, known professionally as Nox.
