Also on September 21st we will organise a joint action with the neighboring municipalities of Pavlos Melas and Ampelokipi Menemeni in the frame of Car Free Day. The action will take place on September 21st and not on 22nd which is the official date of "Car Free Day" due to events organised by the Region of Central Macedonia that will have an impcact in the whole Metropolitan Area of Thessaloniki and therefore it will not be able to organise seperate events that perhaps will cause malfunctions to the Metropolitan City network.

The event organised by the three Municipalities is a bicycle race for the citizens. It will start at 18:00 o clock from Kordelio Evosmos central square with the meeting point for the three bicycle races (one for each Municipality) to have been set at Ampelokipi Menemeni Ex military camp which has been transformed to a park. There several activities will take place (games, music, speeches) for a couple of hours and the end point of the bicycle race will be the Agia Paraskevi square at Menemeni.
