The Greek Community of Melbourne annually hosts the Lonsdale Street Festival ‘Antipodes.’ This year due to COVID-19 we are unable to host such an event, but we are proud to be able to put on the ‘Lonsdale Street Greek Music Festival.’
This event is part of our Greece21 program which strives to celebrate the bicentenary of the Greek
War of Independence through a year-long program filled with various diverse events.
The Lonsdale Street Greek Music Festival, being held on the 20th and 21st of March at Lonsdale Street’s Golden Square Carpark, will feature food trucks, including Greek Street Food and St Gerry’s
Greek Donuts and Desserts as well as a bar.
On Saturday, the event will start at 5pm with Totally Kicking Brass being the opening act for the
festival. Following them will be The Philhellenes, Byron and Friends, and Cats and the Canary. On
Sunday, at 1:30pm, the Paskalia Ensemble will be opening followed by Epirotiko Ensemble, Agapi
and Friends, Sifis Tsourdalakis, and Anagennisi as the closing act. Each band will play for an hour with 30 minutes in between each act.
