For three decades the Athens Human Rights Festival has been a springtime political and cultural event that enlivens downtown Athens with speeches, music, street theater, and family-friendly fun in an outdoor setting. The Athens Human Rights Festival brings together political activists, musicians and artists in a call for action on human rights issues as well as a celebration of advances in the area of human rights.
