Greek Festival of Sydney to return to Brighton-Le-Sands after 20 years

·

The Greek Festival of Sydney has today announced three major festivals as part of its cultural program for 2023, including a return to Brighton-Le-Sands after 20 years.

The Greek Fest Darling Harbour also returns next year to deliver one of the most prominent multicultural events in Sydney, with a must-do events calendar, giving Sydneysiders a taste of Greece. 

This year’s program is sure to showcase the richest display of Greek culture in Australia.

“We aim to inspire local, national, and international artists with new works, providing opportunities for established and emerging performers,” Nia Karteris, Chair of the Greek Festival of Sydney, said.

“We strive to enhance Sydney as a cultural hub, engaging diverse audiences within accessible community spaces, giving recognition to years of immigration influence.”

*Please note: An extensive Greek Fest Cultural Program will be released early February highlighting over 30 high caliber events.
