MELBOURNE PARTIED GREEK-STYLE

Thousands of people flooded the historic Lonsdale Street Greek Precinct on the weekend of February 25 + 26 to celebrate the 30^th anniversary of the Lonsdale St Greek Festival. Much-loved Greek siren Glykeria performed some of her greatest hits to a massive crowd that filled the intersection of Russell and Lonsdale Street in the heart of the city.

Both the Delphi Bank Stage and AA Holdings Stage were packed with local, interstate and international acts, interactive activities such as the Zorba ‘til you Drop dancing competition (the ultimate test of endurance), Magic Mic singing competition for amateur performers, highly skilled Greek dancing groups, bands and DJs. Late on Saturday evening, Beautiful People Events with guest DJ Sotiristav brought a little Greek island magic to the street with 2 hours of partying for those with staying power. The Stratakis Brothers (Greece), wooed a heaving crowd with their mesmerising vocals and lyre talents on Sunday evening, giving the weekend the send-off it deserved.

The Greek Community would like to thank every single sponsor, performer, musician, dancer, food presenter, competition entrant, MC, stall holder and volunteer for giving life to the Greek Community's largest event. The 30th Lonsdale St Greek Festival is a Greek Community of Melbourne event.
