Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the 2023 Antipodes Festival at Lonsdale Street. The festival was a celebration of Greek culture and heritage, and it was heartwarming to see so many Greek Australians come together to enjoy the festivities.

Speaking to the Greek media at the event, I emphasised the importance of Greek Australians attending the festival. Firstly, it provides an opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate our rich cultural heritage. Festivals like this help to foster a sense of belonging and pride in our identity as Greek Australians.

Furthermore, attending the festival can also be a way to actively engage with the community and work together for the advancement of the Hellenic language and culture. By participating in events and activities, we can promote the use of the Greek language and preserve our traditions for future generations.

Finally, the Antipodes Festival is a great way to showcase the vibrancy and diversity of our community to the wider Australian public. It provides a platform to share our cultural heritage with others and to promote understanding and acceptance of our unique identity.

Attending the Antipodes Festival is an opportunity not to be missed. By participating in this celebration of Greek culture, we can come together as a community, promote our language and culture, and showcase the richness and diversity of our heritage to the wider world.
