THE NOIR SELECTION · SEPTEMBER–OCTOBER 2026
Top 10 Events in Mykonos
From an exhibition across Mykonos and Delos to autumn storytelling and live music: ten reasons to make room in the diary.
Our selection covers programmes continuing or scheduled between 19 September and 17 October 2026. We chose each for its artistic approach, connection to island life or distinctive format. The order is editorial, not a ranking.
This is a dated selection, not the full calendar. For all our listings and their current date status, visit What’s On in Mykonos.

How to use this selection
Eight choices are supported by municipal or venue publications. Two community celebrations are attributed to Island24’s reports. Programme publication confirms an announcement, not that an event took place; check the linked source for changes and availability before travelling.
This edition retains its 19 September cutoff. Dates that pass remain part of the selection’s record, not recommendations for an upcoming visit.

A route between islands and museums
Erieta Attali: Archipelago of Memory — exhibition
- Date
- –
- Place
- Maria Iglessi Municipal Gallery; Aegean Maritime Museum; Archaeological Museums of Mykonos and Delos · Mykonos and Delos
Attali’s exhibition makes the journey between four cultural spaces part of the experience. We selected it for the way photography connects the landscape of Delos with the museums and gallery of Mykonos, rather than treating each stop as a separate attraction.
The announced run is 23 August–27 September. Each venue has its own hours and admission; plan the Delos crossing separately.
Mykonos harbour · Mustang Joe Archive view of Mykonos harbour; Boni Windmill and the Harvest Festival are not pictured.
The island’s agricultural memory
Harvest Festival at Boni Windmill
- Date
- · 16:00
- Place
- Agricultural Museum — Boni Windmill · Mykonos Town
Grape pressing and threshing give this gathering a particular connection to its setting at Boni Windmill. It earns its place here by bringing agricultural practices into a public celebration that residents and visitors can share, according to the published invitation.
Date, venue and activities are reported by Island24. Direct organiser confirmation and admission terms have not been independently established.
Mykonos Town · Mustang Joe Contextual photograph of Mykonos Town; the festival and its performers are not pictured.
Traditional dance as an exchange
Ta Paraportiana: traditional dance festival at Lakka
- Date
- · 20:00
- Place
- Lakka Theatre · Mykonos Town
The invitation brings dance groups from Greece and abroad to Lakka. Our reason for choosing it is the meeting between local associations and visiting performers: a way to encounter the island through the people who organise its cultural life.
The 19 September invitation is reproduced by Island24. Check the organisers for any last-minute change; admission terms are not stated.
Little Venice, Mykonos · Roberto Faccenda Contextual photograph of Mykonos Town; not a photograph of this performance.
Dance and voices on the same stage
Action Art Cultural Festival — dance groups and choirs
- Date
- · 21:00
- Place
- Lakka Theatre · Mykonos Town
Choral participation gives this Lakka gathering a different emphasis from a dance-only programme. Free entry also makes it a useful choice for readers seeking an evening shaped by local associations, with no need to choose a commercial venue first.
The municipal programme confirms free admission and a 21:00 start. A full running order and finishing time are not published.

An October afternoon for stories
Paramythokores: storytelling at ARTmill festival
- Date
- · 18:00
- Place
- Municipality of Mykonos Events Hall, Matogianni · Mykonos Town
A storytelling performance offers a quieter point of entry into the October programme. Its invitation to children and adults makes it distinctive within this selection: an occasion built around listening together, rather than separate activities for each age group.
Part of ARTmill festival, with free admission in the municipal listing. No minimum age or performance duration is specified.

Thirty years of a musical work
Mikri Patrida: a musical performance in Matogianni
- Date
- · 20:30
- Place
- Municipality of Mykonos Events Hall, Matogianni · Mykonos Town
The anniversary gives this concert a clear subject: returning to Mikri Patrida three decades after its release. The programme pairs its creators with named singers, making it a considered choice for readers interested in the continuity of Greek songwriting.
Giorgos Andreou and Paraskevas Karasoulos, with Thodoris Antoniou and Korina Legaki. The municipality lists free entry and a 20:30 start.
Little Venice, Mykonos · Roberto Faccenda Contextual photograph of Mykonos Town; the exhibition and its artworks are not pictured.
A meeting of materials and media
Cycles: The Gathering — opening at Maria Iglessi Gallery
- Date
- · 20:30
- Place
- Maria Iglessi Municipal Gallery · Mykonos Town
Photography, video, ceramics and works on paper share the announced programme. We chose the opening for that breadth: an opportunity to encounter several artistic practices in one gallery, without implying that the complete festival timetable is already available.
17 October is the announced opening, not the festival’s full duration. Admission terms and the complete artist list are not established.

Live instruments on the dancefloor
Valeron & Band (Live) at Scorpios
- Date
- · 17:00
- Place
- Scorpios, Sunset Area · Paraga, Mykonos
The live-band format is the reason for this choice: a meeting of traditional melodies and electronic music, offering a different focus from a DJ-only booking.
17:00 is the programme start. Check Scorpios for reservations and admission terms.

A Terrace pairing
Lannka and Avangart Tabldot at Scorpios
- Date
- · 17:00
- Place
- Scorpios, Terrace · Paraga, Mykonos
Lannka and Avangart Tabldot make this the selection’s DJ-led Terrace date. Readers choosing one Scorpios visit can compare this pairing with the two live-led programmes around it.
17:00 is the programme start. Check Scorpios for reservations and admission terms.

A live-led Monday programme
Kurup (Live) and Tess at Scorpios
- Date
- · 17:00
- Place
- Scorpios, Sunset Area · Paraga, Mykonos
Kurup’s live billing gives this Monday its point of difference, alongside Tess. It is an alternative for readers whose island dates fall beyond the weekend.
17:00 is the programme start. Check Scorpios for reservations and admission terms.
