Hundreds of Greeks gathered yesterday at the Addison Road Community Centre in the Sydney suburb of Marrickville to celebrate this year’s Paniyiri festival.
The event is part of a series of three major festivals hosted by the Greek Festival of Sydney for the 2023 cultural program with all proceeds going to the Greek Orthodox Community’s Home for the Aged.
With live music, Greek food and children’s activities including mask-painting and a mini farm, there was something for everyone at this year’s event.

Lamb on the spit and souvlaki were on the menu, along with freshly made loukoumades, a crowd favourite.
A live band took the stage at 12 pm playing famous Greek hits on clarinet, guitar and bouzouki.
With a scorching hot 35 degrees, the weather did not seem to bother those who attended as they gathered round and enjoyed their food in the shade.
