Cyprus Community of South Australia holds ‘biggest ever’ Cypriot festival

·

Over 5,000 people attended the Cyprus Community of South Australia’s annual Cyprus Festival over the weekend at Welland in Adelaide.

The festival took place over two days from February 5 – 6 and everyone in attendance, including a number of VIP guests and representatives from Greek organisations, enjoyed traditional performances by various local dancing groups.

There was also live music by two musicians from Cyprus, Michalis Levendis and Elena Andreou, and a variety of Cypriot cuisine on display at stalls. Food varied from kleftiko to koupes and loukoumades. Beer from Cyprus was also on the menu.

President of the Cyprus Community of SA, Andreas Evdokiou, told The Greek Herald the festival was the community’s ‘biggest ever’ and thanked the endless volunteers and sponsors for their support.

The festival was supported by the Government of South Australia, the City of Charles Sturt Council, Bank of Sydney and Specialty Foods.

“The Cyprus Festial has been organised as a way to promote and share our unique culture and heritage with the people in Adelaide and with the wider multicultural community,” Mr Evdokiou said.

“It has become a permanent fixture on the yearly calendar of events here in South Australia. So I am extremely proud of my Community for what they have achieved.”
