One of western Sydney’s much-loved cultural celebrations is returning, with the Let’s Go Greek Festival set to bring the colour, flavours, music and energy of Greece to Parramatta on Sunday, September 13.
A celebration of Greek culture with something for everyone, the Let’s Go Greek Festival has grown into a major community event, welcoming families and visitors from across western Sydney and beyond for a full day of food, entertainment and festivities.
For families, there will be plenty to keep the kids entertained throughout the day. From carnival rides and face painting to children’s activities, entertainment and family-friendly attractions, younger festival-goers will have plenty to see and do while parents enjoy everything the festival has to offer. The festival atmosphere is designed for all generations, making it the perfect day out for families, grandparents, children and friends.
Of course, no Greek celebration would be complete without food. Visitors can expect an incredible selection of authentic Greek favourites, from sizzling souvlakia and slow-roasted meats to seafood, traditional sweets, loukoumades and plenty more. Agora-style market stalls will also offer products, gifts and cultural treasures to browse throughout the day.
Music and dancing will be at the heart of the celebrations, with a full program of live entertainment, traditional Greek dancing, local musicians and DJs creating an atmosphere that will have festival-goers dancing along.
Headlining this year’s entertainment is popular Greek performer Giorgos Tsalikis and his band, appearing live, bringing the energy of a true Greek concert experience to the heart of western Sydney.
More than simply a festival, Let’s Go Greek is an opportunity for the wider community to come together and experience Greek hospitality, traditions and culture. Whether you have Greek heritage or simply love Greek food, music and a great community celebration, everyone is invited to join in.
