At midday, a cohort of students from the MANASIS School of Greek Dance and Culture opened the festivities and showcased a plethora of traditional Greek folk dances, hosting a Zorba dance workshop, and of course a non-stop glendi for everyone.

Cultures represented throughout the day, included performances from African and Arabic drummers, Irish, Latin, Flamenco, Ukrainian, and Portuguese dancers.

Together with live music, and many other pop-up activations there was something for everyone. It was a wonderful day of cultural immersion!
