No Greek celebration would be complete without dancing, and no one knows how to dance quite like the Manasis School of Greek Dance and Culture. Catch their performance from 10am – 3pm and be immersed in their traditional moves, authentic folk costumes, and unmatched energy.

Event-goers can also expect a raft of exciting food and merchandise pop-up stalls including St. Gerry’s Greek Donuts, Twista Bros Potato Twists and more.

To keep the young and the young at heart entertained, a variety of kids activities will be running from 11am to 1pm, including pot decorating and seed planting.

Since its establishment in 1970 as a traditional European precinct, Preston Market has evolved into a thriving multicultural community.
