Get ready to Opa! It's Greek Fest time in Darling Harbour!
Calling all Sydney-siders, culture vultures, and foodies alike! Prepare for a sensory explosion of epic proportions because the legendary Greek Festival of Sydney is back for it’s 20th year in Darling Harbour.
Mark your calendars for Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 February because this year is going to be bigger, bolder, and more baklava-licious than ever before!
Get ready to shimmy to the electrifying beats of Melina Aslanidou, and wander through pop-up stalls bursting with handcrafted treasures. And because no Greek celebration is complete without the next generation, they’ve got the littlies with face painting, and craft workshop.
But let's be real, the real heart of any Greek fiesta is the food. Dive into mountains of fluffy loukoumades, savour succulent lamb souvlaki dripping with tzatziki, and quench your thirst with frosty Mythos beers.
So what are you waiting for? Get ready to celebrate the rich tapestry of Greek-Australian culture. Witness traditional dance performances that'll make your heart soar, learn a few basic Greek phrases to impress your yiayia, and discover the stories woven into every bite, every beat, every bead.
