Greek Australian Women’s Groups unite for joyful double celebration

·

In a spirit of unity and celebration, Victoria’s Greek community marked two beloved cultural occasions—May Day and Mother’s Day—on Sunday, 4 May 2025.

The joint event, hosted at the elegant Stars International reception centre, was a heartfelt tribute to life, nature, and the central role of mothers in Greek culture.

Co-organised by the Hellenic Women’s Network of Victoria (HELIADES Inc.), EEAMA, and the Pan-Hellenic Women’s Federation of Australia, the event was warmly embraced by other Greek community organisations and drew a crowd of over 500 attendees.

The celebration seamlessly blended cultural tradition with festivity. A talented live orchestra entertained guests with nostalgic, traditional, and contemporary Greek music, keeping the dance floor lively all day.
