45th Patrino Karnavali lights up Sydney’s Brighton-Le-Sands

·

The 45th Patrino Karnavali Sydney lit up Brighton-Le-Sands on Friday, February 24 at The Grand Roxy as hundreds wore their best fancy dress and danced the night away to mark Apokries.

The Panachaian Philanthropical Association (PPA), founded in 1974, have been organising the Patrino Karnavali for the past 45 years, encouraging guests to step away from their ‘every day routine’ for a night of carefree fun and celebration.

This year’s sold-out event had everything from Greek and Brazilian Karnavali traditions. There were also a number of official guests including the Consul General of Greece in Sydney, Ioannis Mallikourtis, and Press Counsellor at the Consulate of Greece in Sydney, Costas Giannakodimos.

Whilst guests enjoyed delicious food provided by Bill Mougios from The Grand Roxy, the Capoeiro Topazio Brazil dancers entertained with traditional dancing. Awards were also given to the best dressed youngster and adult on the night.

“It was a very successful, sold-out event with kefi, dancing, amazing food and a lot of youth. No one had a chance to sit down,” President of the PPA, Katerina Vetsikas, told The Greek Herald.
