Gaming, History and Summer
The Summer Gaming Festival was created with the aim of bringing video games out of their usual spaces and presenting them in an open, summer environment.
For two days, visitors will be able to play beloved titles, discover rare items from the history of video games, and take part in activities that combine entertainment with the cultural dimension of gaming.
The festival is organized by the Video Games Museum, the first organization in Greece dedicated exclusively to preserving and showcasing the history of video games.
