The 29th annual Greek Festival of Sydney will launch with a two day long celebration at Darling Harbour on the 26th and 27th of March. Bring your family, bring your appetites and bring your dancing shoes for two days of music, fine food and Greek festivities.
Entry is free of charge for all. On this weekend the foreshores of Darling Harbour will come alive to the sounds of fabulous Greek music, the aromas of sumptuous Greek food, dazzling displays of Greek dancing, and many surprises for the children.
This is the perfect way to celebrate the vibrant multiculturalism of Sydney and to explore the beauty of Greek culture. From 3 pm Saturday the Festival will feature international performers, the best local contemporary youth music acts and Greek dancing groups, children’s activities, musical performances, mouth watering Greek delicacies and special guests.
From 10 am Sunday, the Greek Orthodox Community of New South Wales will celebrate Greek Independence Day with a traditional parade through Darling Harbour from Pyrmont Bridge to Tumbalong Park, followed by a full day of traditional and contemporary Greek entertainment. The highlights for the day, apart from the food, coffee, family atmosphere and friendly crowds, are the live music by a long line-up of local and international quality acts.
The Darling Harbour celebration will kick off the three month long Greek Festival of Sydney with over 20 events scheduled on this year’s program, showcasing the depth and diversity of the Greek Culture in Australia.
