welcome
The Greek Festival of Sydney is one of Australia's largest and longest running annual cultural events and is the most attended Greek-Australian community event in NSW. Over the last 23 years The Festival has played a key role in providing a forum for showcasing a multitude of Greek and multi-cultural expressions by featuring the finest Greek-Australian talent alongside the most acclaimed Greek artists in the world today. In March 2006 the Greek Festival of Sydney (GFoS) will celebrate its 24th year as one of Sydney's premier cultural events.
The Festival is a cultural celebration of Greek-Australian lifestyle, culture and heritage however its appeal is much broader reflecting the rich and diverse multicultural nature of Australia and it has evolved into the most prestigious and important Greek-Australian community event in NSW.
From cooking classes, theatre and political panel discussions to childrens’ activities, music and dance, this year’s Festival will have something for everyone.

The evening will include screen projector featuring the hundreds of amazing pictures taken from one and all throughout the festival, all the events, people and experiences through images…..a perfect way to reminisce such a huge month. Between 4pm and 6pm all part-goers will receive complimentary delicacies, greek mezedes, wine and beer, whilst sitting back by the ocean and listening to the Sweet sounds of music by DJ Steve K, capturing the ambiance of summer life. No official closing could take place without a short ceremony announcing it’s official end, as the Board of Directors and Youth committee representatives get on the microphone after a few drinks to give us one final YAISOU, and the very least it will be an official announcement for everyone to let their hair down and gather in the sweet smells and sounds of this luscious location and it’s taste tingling offerings.
