If you have children or, indeed, if you are feeling a little bit “childish” yourself these days, do not hesitate to visit the garden at Six D.O.G.S in the area of Monastiraki on Sunday the 15^th of September, in order to participate at a unique and very original festival hosted for our little friends!

The capital Athens offers a plethora of very interesting and alternative activities for all ages, so you can freely pick and choose between musical events, artistic and cultural fairs but also specially created events for young children. Playroom hosts the 1^st grand festival for children and gives it the name “Wanna Play?”. The actual exotic, secret garden will be arranged in a special way to accommodate separate labs where participants can enter and make their own creations. Children will be divided into small groups of 10-12 according to their age and the festival accepts participation of children aged 5 to 15 years old. Each lab will be lead by a particular artist with which children can collaborate and create special projects in using particular and unique materials. The main aim of the festival is to entertain our little friends and make them eager to discover the game of creation! In addition, the projects that will be yielded during the festival, will be exhibited and sold and a percentage from the sales will be donated to the Center 'Perivolaki" which is a Hellenic Institution that cares for the mentally disabled and autistic children. 

The festival will last for four hours and will conclude with a special musical performance by the band Burger Project whose lively and fresh performance is bound to fill children with enthusiasm and give them the chance for a lot of happy dancing!
