Paniyir GReek Festival 2021 will be held on May 22 and 23 next year and will be bigger, better, louder and more flavour-filled than you can imagine! 2021 is a big year in Greek History, where we will celebrate 200 years of Greek Independence (25th March 1821).
Please mark your diaries, and we will see you then!
ABOUT PANIYIRI GREEK FESTIVAL
Over four decades Paniyiri has grown to become Queensland’s signature celebration of all things Greek and the state’s largest cultural festival as well as the country’s longest running Greek festival – an admirable success story for the celebration that started in 1976 when a group of passionate Greek Australians wanted to share their cultural traditions with Brisbane. More than 50,000 are expected to celebrate in 2021, over the weekend of May 22 & 23. In the 44 years of Paniyiri, almost two million festival-goers have devoured well over five million honey puffs, rivers of thick sweet coffees, over four million Souvlaki, 25 tonnes Haloumi and countless calamari and Dolmades. Only Zeus knows how many high kicks have been performed! Brisbane’s love of its famous Greek Festival knows few bounds! NEXT YEAR, festival goers are expected to down some 300,000 Honey Puffs, more than 100,000 Souvlakia, almost 12,000 Dolmades, 20,000 coffees, 1,600 kilograms of grilled Haloumi, 10,000 Shiftalies (Greek Cypriot sausage) and 1,000 kilograms of calamari. Paniyiri is a community initiative of the 25,000-strong Greek community of South East Queensland. Funds raised are channelled back into the community via the Greek Orthodox Community of St George, Brisbane. It is Brisbane’s oldest Greek community established in the 1920s.
