In a Facebook post, the Federation thanked everyone for attending the paniyiri to celebrate multiculturalism and “the country we made our second home.”

The paniyiri was a display of entertainment with traditional Greek dancing, local pop-up stalls, as well as food and drinks trucks.

In attendance at the event was also a number of official guests including the Mayor of Mornington Council, Steve Holland, and Napien County MP Sam Grooth.
