The Stegi Party Becomes Accessible!

Poster for the Onassis Cultural Centre Party. Two female hands dig their long red nails into a tall cake with pink icing, decorated with illustrated cherries, placed on a fuchsia tablecloth. Among the scattered crumbs, part of the word “Stegi” written in red icing is faintly visible at the top of the cake. Out of focus in the background, a glossy, iridescent fabric suggests the woman’s dress. Above the photo, in bold letters resembling handwritten marker, it reads: “Stegi Party, Celebrating 15 Years Together.” At the bottom, in smaller letters: “In the Neos Kosmos neighborhood, 09/10/2025 from 18:00.” The lineup and event logos follow, including the accessibility icon with the caption “Accessible to All” and the Onassis Cultural Centre logo.

Accessibility at Stegi Party

Onassis Stegi turns 15! On Thursday, October 9 it opens its home and takes to the streets to celebrate as it should: with a big, accessible street party in its neighborhood, Neos Kosmos.

liminal and Cool Crips collaborate with Stegi for the design and implementation of accessibility, making sure the party is an experience open to everyone.

Putting This into Practice

  • Tactile maps (piaf), QR codes for audio description for individuals with visual disabilities.
  • Greek Sign Language interpretation and sound visualization.
  • Vibration vests that amplify low-frequency sounds, from DEAF VEST.
  • Sensory kits.
  • A raised platform with unobstructed visibility and low-access points to bars and canteens for convenient service for wheelchair users.
  • A specially designed safe space for anyone who needs a break.
  • Designated parking spaces for disability vehicles at the Grand Hyatt Athens (115 Andrea Syggrou Ave).

ℹ️ Menus are available via QR code, and there will be an access info point at the party venue with more information about accessibility.

And that’s not all!

Deaf performers step onto the DJ booths to share rhythm in another way, while shuttle buses ensure comfortable transportation for those who need it. This year, the Onassis Stegi street party isn’t just another event. It’s a meeting point. An open embrace for every body and every beat.

We celebrate what unites us. We dance as we are. Together.
