The Street Mode Festival is one of the biggest festivals in the country with many music stages, dance, street actions, sports activities, graffiti and many more events.
It started with open events in Paramana Square in Thermi, where it remained for 5 years, and hosted artists from all over Greece. It gradually gained an international profile with over 80 artists and activists from around the world annually. Then, it was moved to the port and to the Fix Open Air Multiplex, while today it is hosted in the Sonik Arena, near the airport. The goal of the festival is to highlight street culture through a variety of actions and events, such as parkour, BMX, graffiti, breakdancing, skating, hip hop, rock and ethnic music, while many competitions are held.
