Brighton-Le-Sands Greek Fest 2024

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I recently had the opportunity to attend the Greek Fest at Brighton-Le-Sands and must say, I had an amazing time. This was the first time that the Greek Fest has returned in 21 years. I have always said that here in New South Wales, our diversity is our strength. The Greek Fest demonstrates this so clearly, with thousands of locals coming out to soak up the sun and join in on the festivities. There was truly so much on offer, with craft stalls, cultural performances through song and dance and of course, delicious food such as Gyros and Souvlaki. I would like to recognise Ms Nia Karteris – Chair Greek Festival of Sydney, as well as the rest of her team, who put on a fantastic event for the local Greek community. Festivals such as Greek Fest are a tribute and testament to the multicultural success story that is New South Wales. It was incredible to see a diverse mix of people partaking in Greek Culture and heritage. I sincerely look forward to attending next year. Thank you.
