To conclude the event, a team of young dancers from OPA Dance Group provided entertainment to people in the stands with a short Greek dancing performance.

“We thank all the friends who attended, the sponsors, the unions and the volunteers who helped make the event very successful,” the Greek Orthodox Community of North Australia (GOCNA) said in a post on Facebook.
