Annual Patrino Karnavali in Brighton-Le-Sands a huge success

·

On Saturday, March 16, the Panachaian Philanthropical Association (PPA) hosted a special event to mark the end of Apokries.

The event ‘Patrino Karnavali’ was held for its 46th year at The Grand Roxy in Brighton-Le-Sands, Sydney and featured plenty of fun and entertainment for all to enjoy.

It was inspired from the original Patrino Karnavali which has been held in Patras, Greece for the last 180 years and takes place every year in the lead up to Kathari Deftera (Clean Monday), which marks the start of Lent.

This year’s event highlights included performances by a Brazilian dance group and a sit-down dinner. Children and adults were dressed up in colourful costumes, whilst there was a dance competition for little kids and an awards ceremony for the most creative costumes.

“Thank you to all who contributed to us hosting this unforgettable, colourful, and spectacular Patras Carnival night in Sydney,” Ms Vetsikas said.

“Congratulations to all the people who dressed up… and congratulations to all the winners.”
