Is it safe to have graffiti workshops near food stalls?

Absolutely! We use high-quality, low-odour water-based spray paints for our food festival workshops whenever possible. We also provide full protective gear, including masks and gloves. Our professional artists ensure the 'creative zone' is kept separate from the dining areas, so you can enjoy your souvlaki without a hint of paint fumes! Safety is our number one priority.

How do you handle the mess at a public festival?

We can be as flexible as you need. Typically, we set up large temporary wooden 'graffiti walls' or use stretches of cling-film between pillars to create transparent canvases. This means we don't leave any permanent marks on the Heraklion event venue. When the festival ends, we simply pack up the boards or recycled plastic, leaving the site exactly as we found it.

How long does a typical festival graffiti session last?

Our festival workshops are designed to be 'drop-in' friendly. A quick session usually lasts about 15 to 20 minutes per person—just enough time to learn the basics and add a piece to the mural. However, for those who want to dive deeper, we offer full-length sessions lasting up to 2 hours. It's all about keeping the festival energy flowing!

Do participants need to have any artistic skills?

No way! That is the beauty of street art. Our Graffitifun artists are experts at guiding complete beginners. We use stencils for those who are a bit nervous, and we provide 'live' sketching help. Whether you are 5 years old or 85, you will walk away feeling like a pro. It’s all about the fun and the experience.

What happens if it rains or stays too hot in Heraklion?

We come fully prepared for the Greek sun! We bring our own pop-up gazebos to provide shade for the artists and participants. If the weather takes a turn for the worse (which is rare in Crete!), we can move our mobile walls under cover. We also have a 'backup artist' system in place, so your event is guaranteed to go ahead no matter what.

Can the graffiti art be themed to match our food festival?

We love a theme! Whether your festival is celebrating Cretan olive oil, local seafood, or international street food, we can pre-sketch the mural to match. We can incorporate your festival logo, specific colour palettes, or even food-related puns into the artwork. It’s a fantastic way to make your event's branding 'pop' on social media.

How far in advance should we book for a Heraklion event?

While we don't require an upfront deposit, we do recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially during the busy summer festival season in Crete. We can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests thanks to our large team of artists, but earlier is always better to ensure we can customise the experience to your specific festival layout.

Local culture

Heraklion is a city where ancient history meets a pulse-pounding modern street culture. Beyond the Minoan ruins of Knossos, the city's alleyways are increasingly becoming a canvas for local and international street artists. We take inspiration from the bright colours of the Aegean and the rustic textures of Cretan landscapes to bring a local flavour to every spray stroke.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Heraklion hosts some of the most vibrant street art murals in Greece, often blending mythological themes with modern social commentary? Our workshops tap into this local spirit, letting your festival guests become part of Heraklion's living art scene! 🏛️✨

Pricing

Our festival entertainment packages are as varied as the food stalls! Prices typically range from €20 to €45 per person, depending on the duration of the event, the number of participants, and the custom murals required.

Because every Heraklion food festival is unique, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing. No upfront payment is required – we focus on your satisfaction first! 💰
