FAQ's
Is the festival suitable for children and families?
Yes, Street Mode is a family-friendly event during the early afternoon and early evening hours. Children often enjoy the graffiti workshops and the action sports demonstrations like skateboarding and parkour. However, parents should be aware that the music gets louder and the crowds become much denser after 9:00 PM, so hearing protection for children is highly recommended.
Are there lockers or storage areas for my belongings on-site?
The festival does not typically provide a centralized locker service for attendees. It is recommended to bring only what you can carry in a small backpack or cross-body bag. Please be aware that security checks are conducted at the entrance, and items like glass bottles, professional video cameras, or sharp objects may be prohibited and confiscated.
What kind of food and drink options are available inside?
The festival features a dedicated "Street Food Village" with a wide variety of options including traditional Greek souvlaki, vegan burgers, pizza, and local sweets. There are several bars scattered across the port area serving cold beer, energy drinks, and water. Please note that most vendors inside the festival grounds now prefer card payments, though having some cash is always helpful.
What should I do if it rains during the outdoor festival?
Street Mode is an outdoor event and will proceed in the event of light rain. The stages are covered, but the audience areas are open to the sky. If heavy rain or thunderstorms are forecast, specific performances may be delayed for safety reasons. It is advisable to check the festival's social media pages for real-time weather updates and to bring a lightweight rain poncho.
Can I leave the festival and come back later in the day?
Re-entry policies vary depending on the ticket type and current safety regulations. Generally, if you have a 3-day wristband, you are permitted to enter and exit the grounds. For single-day ticket holders, re-entry may be restricted after a certain hour. Always check with the staff at the entrance gates to confirm the policy before leaving the venue to ensure your ticket remains valid. Ask ChatGPT
