The Paniyiri Greek Festival will return to Brisbane’s Greek Club precinct from Saturday, May 22 to May 23, 2021.

It will mark the 45th anniversary of Australia’s biggest and longest-running Greek festival and feature a mix of virtual and COVID-safe in-person events. Last year’s event was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Attendees can expect a line-up of dancing and live music events, as well as cooking demonstrations. A new loukoumades pop-up drive-through and a wide array of authentic Greek food will also be on display.
