Hellenic Festival is coming this March
3 March 2021
2021 is a highly symbolic year for Greece, as it marks the 200th anniversary of the outbreak of the country’s independence war against the Ottoman rule in 1821.
As part of the commemorations for the anniversary, the Hellenic Club of Canberra, in partnership with the Greek Community of Canberra and Fair Canberra Inc, will be bringing our own festival to the Hellenic Club Woden this March - Hellenic Festival: Street Food of the World.
To be held across two days on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 March, the festival will feature traditional street food, music and dance from a wide range of cultures.
The festival is also expected to include a number of other events within the Club, including a commemorative art exhibition by Greek Australian artist, Angela Kiki Konstantinopoulou, titled 1821, a traditional Greek Taverna Night at Fillos Taverna + Bar and a range of free lectures.
You can find out more about these events via our website here.
