Sunday’s Grand Parade is over and it’s time for the Carnival King to be burned at the stake, which automatically marks the start of the 2025 Patrine Carnival.
The merriment continues to raise the spirits of the carnival-goers who flock to the Pier of Agios Nikolaos to watch the Closing Ceremony at 21.00 on Sunday.
The last big appointment of the Patronus Carnival 2024, the Carnival of all Greece, was given at the Closing Ceremony, where the Mayor of Patras, Kostas Peletidis, accompanied by the president of KEDIP-Patras Carnival, Hera Kouri, “ends” the events of the Patronus Carnival 2024 and at the same time it “gives the signal” for the start of the next one, the Patron Carnival of 2025.

The burning of the Carnival gives its turn to a big concert by Heaven on Mars, a unique show full of music and dance that takes the audience on a journey to the beautiful and magical decade of the 80’s with well-known pop-rock pieces that left an era. With unforgettable tracks from bands and artists such as A-HA, Madonna, Tears For Fears, Samantha Fox, Simple Minds, Def Leppard, etc., they will make sure to send the fun soaring. Heaven on Mars consists of Kostas Gavakos (vocals), Eleni Vryonis (vocals), Vangelis Gialamas (bass), Manos Vlavianos (drums), Yannis Konstantinidis (electric guitar) and Saki Bola (keyboards), all of them with rich resumes and important scrolls. In the summer of ΄24, their album entitled “Space Hunters” will be released, with record companies from Germany and France that will undertake its promotion.
The party lasts until the early hours with distinguished DJs Michalis Tsausopoulos and Costas Zikos stirring up the crowd with their musical selections. Michalis Tsausopoulos, General Manager of the three leading radio stations in Athens (95.2 Athens DeeJay, 96.9 Rock FM and 92.3 Lampsi), since 2004 presents the show “Breakfast on FM with Michalis” in the morning zone of 95.2 Athens Dee Jay (No. .1 show according to official radio metrics) and Saturday the No.1 Dance show on radio The Dancemasters.

Presenters of the Closing Ceremony are Panagiotis Moulinos and the Hostess of Patrinos Carnival 2024, who will do a flashback to top moments of this year’s event.
This year the Closing Ceremony is “accessible” for the deaf/hard of hearing, since there will be parallel interpretation in Greek sign language, by the official interpreter Lambrini Papaprokopiou.
