Ten Greek associations of Sydney are uniting to host “The Big Fat Greek Gatho” on Saturday, May 28 at 7pm.

The event, which will be held at the Canada Bay Club, is being coordinated by: 

  1. Sydney University Greek Society (SUGS) 
  2. Panipirotiki Enosis of NSW
  3. Kytherian Association of NSW
  4. Kalymnian Association of NSW
  5. Pontoxineteas Sydney
  6. The Greek Australian Society
  7. MUGA (Macquarie University Greek Society)
  8. UTS Hellenic
  9. Cretan Youth Association of Sydney and NSW
  10. Pan-Macedonian Association of NSW

Ari Paraskakis, the Youth Liaison of the Cretan Association of Sydney & NSW, spoke to The Greek Herald about the event and explained the motivation to host an event of this scale with this many clubs for the first time in 20 years. 

“By promoting large scale opportunities like these for like-minded young Greeks and even non-Greeks to gather for an enjoyable night out and establish new friendships and connections is an important driver in the future of our community,” Ari says. 

“It’s incredibly important to continue the maintenance of Greek culture in our Australian community.” 

All the committees have come to the agreement that any proceeds made from the event would go towards events like these happening in the future as they all have the desire of making it an annual event moving forward.

“We’re all looking forward to hosting our first successful event together. We hope to make this event ongoing in the future and we’re excited to see as many youths attend as possible. Be sure to save the date!” Ari says. 

The night will be full of food upon arrival, dancing, and great entertainment by DJ Paro (Chris Paradisis) and DJ George Kinezos.

Tickets for the cocktail event are $50 and are available through the Greek Festival of Sydney Eventbrite.
