The evening commenced with speeches from President Alex Kavgas and Public Officer Kon Kolovos, who spoke of the significance of Greek Independence Day and the enduring strength of the Greek community.

“Greek Independence Day is not just a celebration of the past; it’s a reminder of the rich culture and heritage we carry forward. It’s the music we enjoy, the traditions that bind us together and the stories that connect us to our ancestors,” Mr Kavgas said.

“But for our culture to thrive, it needs a future. That’s why it is so important to involve the younger generation. Share our stories, teach them our dances and show them the beauty of our heritage and culture. These are the ways we ensure our culture, traditions and society continue to thrive.

“Kalavryton Society NSW is committed to fostering cultural understanding and celebrating the rich heritage of the Greek community in Sydney. The annual Greek dance is a cornerstone event that brings the community together and showcases the beauty and vibrancy of Greek culture.”
