The Night of Wishes 2023

The capital’s annual event, Night of Wishes, will take place in one of the biggest squares in Athens, Kotzia Square, on the 24th of December 2023, filling the participants with joy and a sense of awe!

Starting during the afternoon hours, a plethora of citizens will be facing the town hall of Athens while holding their biodegradable paper lanterns with small candles, which they will shortly light up and witness fly away! This event symbolizes good luck and prosperity to all participants while all the released hot air balloons fill the gorgeous night sky with bright, mesmerizing colors!
