This year’s Greek National Day will be made all the more special with the presence of the Evzones Presidential Guard visiting Australia from Greece.
On Sunday 25 March, the pre-eminent ceremonial military unit will also pay a visit to Oakleigh Eaton Mall.
Largely the epicentre of Melbourne’s Greek culture, a multicultural event will be hosted with a program of music and dancing featuring local performers, musicians and cultural groups to mark the significance of the visit.
“As mayor, I am very proud to welcome the Evzones Presidential Guard to Monash,” said City of Monash Mayor Paul Klisaris.
“Taking place in one of Melbourne’s most culturally vibrant communities, the event will be a celebration of diversity and ceremony. Oakleigh’s famous cafes and restaurants are world-class [and] will have their best on show to celebrate the Evzones event.”
An enthusiastic crowd is anticipated, ensuring the Evzones will receive a warm welcome.
