Greek Community Presidents from Across Australia Celebrate at Antipodes

The Antipodes Festival has become in recent years, a gathering event for Greeks from all over Australia. Dance groups from many Australian states and visitors have made their way to the Historic Greek precinct each year in ever increasing numbers. 

This year, the festival added to this growing influx with a series of community state presidents and executive committee members joining the crowds in what is becoming a great national gathering of Hellenes.    

At the 38th Antipodes Festival, the Presidents and or committee members from the Greek Communities of South Australia, the Northern Territory, the ACT all celebrated together at the 38th Antipodes Festival on Lonsdale Street, demonstrating the strength and unity of the Greek diaspora. 

Attending the festival were Michael Koulianos, President of the GOC of Northern Australia, Freda Valassakis, President of the GOC of St George (Brisbane) and John Loukadellis, President of the GOC of Canberra and their committee members. 

Meeting in Melbourne’s historic Greek Precinct, the group connected with festivalgoers and reaffirmed their shared commitment to preserving language, culture and community life. 

Their presence highlighted the important role the Antipodes Festival plays in bringing communities together and celebrating Hellenic culture on a national stage.
