November is film month in Thessaloniki. The 67th Thessaloniki Film Festival runs from 5 to 15 November, with screenings in the Olympion on Aristotelous Square and in the port halls. Cafés and cinema foyers get busy, so allow extra time if you want a seat.
Outside the festival there is plenty of live music: Kostas Leivadas at the Concert Hall on the seafront, a run of evenings at Mikri Skini in Kato Toumba, a punk rock night and a music evening at the Amalia Theatre. Theatre fans can catch The Seagull (in Greek) and The Dinner Game (in Greek), and families have puppet shows, fairy tales and a jazz family concert.
Below you will find our top picks first, then everything else by date. Use the buttons to see only one kind of event. Tip: check each organiser's page for tickets, as some shows sell out.
