Oneiroupoli in Drama is a celebration for everyone, of all ages, set up every year in the Municipal Garden and Eleftherias Square in Drama. For over a month, everything is transformed into a Christmas village, just as a small child would have dreamed it.
The Municipal Garden and Eleftherias Square in Drama are transformed every year, from 2004 to the present day, into a Christmas village, curated by active volunteer citizens of all ages, for all tastes.
A key feature of Oneiroupoli is the small houses, which children and parents visit. The central house is Santa Claus's, where small children can meet him, pull his beard to make sure he's real, and take photos with him.
Those who love fairy tales will be drawn to the fairy tale house and the cinema of Oneiroupoli. In this small house, fairy tales are read to children, who, if they get bored, can watch specially selected children's films, which are characterised by more action and are shown daily. The moment we open our Christmas presents is undoubtedly the best of the year, but the appropriate letter must precede it.
At the Oneiroupoli post office, the Municipality's volunteers help children write their letters, which will be read by Santa Claus himself, so that Mum and Dad can hear it. To avoid chasing your children around the vast Oneiroupoli, there are other houses your children can visit, depending on their artistic interests.
In Santa's Workshop, young visitors can engage in Christmas crafts. If they enjoy cooking reality shows, they can play with flour, sugar, chocolate, and imagination to create the flavours they desire. Useful tip: Don't take the process lightly, because once you're finished, you'll have to eat what you made.
For children who dream of becoming scientists, dreams come true in Dreamland, at the house of experiments. There, children engage in safe experiments under the guidance of instructors, so the house doesn't get blown up. If you like board games, make your own at the Board Game Construction Workshop, take it with you, and bring your family closer during the upcoming festive evenings.
