Paniyiri Greek Festival 2014

Overview

Paniyiri Greek Festival is back for another year, with the weekend of all things Greek food, dance and celebration taking place on May 24-25 at Musgrave Park.

It is the longest running cultural festival of its kind in Australia, and once you’ve been, you’ll know why. Over 30 food stalls of meats and sweets and everything in between will leave no craving unsatisfied, and traditional music and dancing will entertain and enlighten you throughout the day. Grape stomping, honeypuff eating competitions, Zorba ‘til you drop, cooking demonstrations, surprise guests; it’ll all be Greek to you.

Prepare yourself for an afternoon (or a double feature?) of al fresco dining, the smells and smashing plates, the sounds of the bouzouki and the lira, among some 50,000 Greeks and honorary Greeks. Opa!

Children under 13 enter free, and tickets can be purchased online or at the gate. Opa!
