Both the tantalising scent of Greek food and the sound of live Greek music will filter across Sydney’s Darling Harbour on Sunday, February 19 from 10am with the return of the annual Greek Fest.
Greek Fest Darling Harbour is set to return to Tumbalong Park with a bang, as thousands of people are expected to turn up and enjoy the proud display of Greek culture.
The annual festival is organised by The Greek Festival of Sydney and the Greek Orthodox Community of New South Wales (GOCNSW).
On the day, attendees will have access to free local and international music talents, food and drinks, as well as a number of market stalls selling homemade products such as jewellery and candles.
Traditional Greek dancing performances from local dancing groups will be showcased.
This year, renowned Greek singer, Alkistis Protopsaltis, will also be performing her extensive repertoire of songs at the festival.
The Chair of the Greek Festival of Sydney, Nia Kateris, welcomed Protopsaltis’ visit and said her concert on the day is not to be missed.
“Her last visit to Australia was in 2002 and we are excited to have her back on our shores and part of the Greek Fest Darling Harbour,” Ms Kateris said.
Greek Fest Darling Harbour is one of three major events being held by the Greek Festival of Sydney this year to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
On Australia Day, they held a Greek Paniyiri and in May, a Greek festival is returning to Brighton-le-Sands in Sydney’s south after 20 years.
