The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW’s Home for the Aged is set to come alive with music, food and tradition this weekend, as it joins forces with the Panipirotiki Enosis of NSW to host Greek Paniyiri @ GOCHA, a vibrant community festival celebrating Hellenic culture.
Taking place on Sunday, 18 January 2026, the event will transform the grounds of the Greek Community Home for the Aged in Earlwood, Sydney into a lively Greek paniyiri, welcoming families, friends and community members of all ages for a full day of festivities.
Organisers promise an authentic Greek experience, featuring traditional Greek food, souvlakia, drinks, live music and entertainment, as well as dancing and warm Greek hospitality.
The festival aims to bring generations together, offering an opportunity for younger attendees to experience Greek traditions, while older members of the community reconnect with familiar sounds, flavours and customs.
With free entry and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, the event is expected to draw strong community support and provide a meaningful cultural gathering for the local Greek Australian community.
