The document summarizes the Pic Nic Urban Festival that took place in Thessaloniki, Greece in 2012. Over three days, more than 3,000 participants gathered in the Ancient Roman Agora to enjoy music concerts, film screenings, and socialize in the historic space. The festival was a collaboration between the Municipality of Thessaloniki and 16th Ephorate of Antiquities. It aimed to revive the use of the Agora for cultural events and bring people together. The organizers believe the festival helped create ideas and projects, especially during difficult economic times, and they are looking forward to the next edition in 2013.
