Here is what I found as scheduled, as known on 29 October 2026. The sources are the website of the Municipality of Arta and local media. If you read this page later, the list may have changed.
Students' painting exhibition, 30 Oct–8 Nov 2026
The Municipality of Arta lists an exhibition of paintings by students titled “I give a voice to the students”, from 30 October to 8 November 2026. The home page of the site does not give the venue; see the announcement.
5th Detective Literature Festival, 13–15 November 2026
The festival runs from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026, with free entry to all events. Thirteen bodies co-organise it, including the Municipality of Arta, the Chamber of Commerce, the “Skoufas” society and the Bar Association. The venues are the “Skoufas” hall and the Municipal Library.
On Friday 13 November the opening is at 19:30, the main panel “In the Depths of a Crime: Investigation, Justice, Psychiatry” is at 20:00 and a performance by the Peta theatre group at 21:30. On Saturday 14 November at 11:00 there is a children's session at the Municipal Library and from 19:00 to 22:00 the presentation of the book “Cancel” by Lena Manta and Klairi Theodorou, with a mystery play and piano. On Sunday 15 November at 11:00 there is a children's book presentation with a treasure hunt and at 12:00 “CSI: Arta”, a digital-investigation game with the University of Ioannina.
Orange, mandarin, kiwi and olive festival
The municipality's tourist guide mentions a festival for these products on the last weekend of November. I found no official announcement for 2026, so the date is not confirmed. The last weekend of November 2026 is 28–29 November, but that is my own calculation.
