Grecian Ball held to conclude festivities for Greek Revolution bicentenary is postponed

·

In a long year of events being rescheduled, the inaugural Grecian Ball which was scheduled for October 30 and was the culmination of festivities commemorating the Greek Revolution of 1821, has had to be postponed until 25 March, 2022.

Facing ongoing restrictions and without being able to guarantee venue capacities and or service, the organisers took the decision to move the event to the significant date of Friday, March 25.

Organisers were keen to stress that all purchased tickets will be honoured and simply transferred to the new event date.

The Gala Ball is being organised by the Greek Community of Melbourne and the Greek National Day Council of Victoria in association with the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia.

Tickets for the Inaugural Grecian Ball on March 25, 2022 are available here.
