Floriade – Australia’s largest flower festival celebrating Spring – has returned to Commonwealth Park in Canberra, the ACT for its 37th year.
The annual festival runs until Sunday, October 13 with the theme Art in Bloom. More than one million beautiful flowers will transform Commonwealth Park into a vibrant canvas of colour and creativity.
This year’s program also offers art exhibitions, entertainment, music, food and drink, horticultural and artistic workshops, market traders, recreational activities and more, with something for everyone to enjoy.
Over the past weekend, Floriade attendees were given a special treat with a dancing performance by the Canberra Hellenic Dancers.
Dancers of all ages from Kindergarten to the older Atalanti group proudly performed on the day dressed in traditional Greek costumes.
Ambassador of Greece to Australia, Stavros Venizelos, the High Commissioner of the Republic of Cyprus in Australia, Antonis Sammoutis, and Deputy Head of Cyprus Mission Nicholas Varelas were in attendance to watch the Canberra Hellenic Dancers impress and entertain the thousands in attendance with their Greek dancing.
