The 2013 Paniyiri at Brisbane’s Musgrave Park was held successfully this weekend, as tens of thousands of people went to enjoy the sunny weather, the food, wine and dance. Even when the sun started to fall, there was still a considerable crowd in Musgrave Park in front of the Greek Club at South Brisbane.
Much of Brisbane’s entire Greek community was present: the stallholders, the traders, the Greek Orthodox community of St. George and the Greek people who live there and are now Australians.
As brisbanetimes reports, along with the community, there were also newcomers, like Amish Nardha, from New Zealand, who traveled with his son Veer, from Underwood, to experience the Paniyiri for the first time. Amish said that the event is awesome and was surprised by the amount of people. He loved the the Greek food and the Greek beers and enjoyed the entertainment program, which lasted until the fireworks at 7 pm.
There were also games, like a wine stomping competition and spontaneous dances, in which many people of the crowd participated.
Brisbane’s inner-Greek was smiling all over the world in this successful Paniyiri, were people were gathered to eat, drink, talk a lot and dance a lot and have fun, in a beautiful day. Final attendance figures were being counted late at the end of the night to see if it broke the record set in 2012.
