On Saturday, March 16, the Panachaian Philanthropical Association (PPA) will be hosting a special event to mark Apokries.
The event ‘Patrino Karnavali’ will be held for its 46th year at The Grand Roxy in Brighton-Le-Sands from 7 pm, and will feature plenty of fun and entertainment for all to enjoy.
It is inspired from the original Patrino Karnavali which has been held in Patras, Greece for the last 180 years. It takes place every year in the lead up to Kathari Deftera (Clean Monday), which marks the start of Lent.
People can expect to enjoy a nice dinner, a DJ and live Greek music, a chocolate war and performances by Brazilian dancers.
There will be a fancy dress contest too, so make sure you dress in your best costume to win some great prizes!
Tickets are $120 each for adults and include all food and drinks. Kids under 6 are free, and kids aged 6 to 12 are $40 per person. To book, contact Katerina, on 0410324328, or Mary, on 8054 6633.
