The Glendi greek festival in Adelaide, South Australia is held every year and this year is the 30th anniversary which coincides with the Pan-Hellenic games. The word "glendi" in greek means a really merry party with a lot of eating, singing and dancing and of course happiness.
Here is the poster for this year:
Eating: the whole goat or somethin else was being cooking in the open air
A traditional greek food: pita and of course greek beer MYTHOS
Singing and Dancing: a group of boys playing traditional musical instrument
band: akropolis, nice greek music and songs
Greek dance. They are going to break a new world record for dancing ZOBRA together +1800 people
Dancers in tradional constume
Greek hand-made blanket
The god even Zeus is afraid of: Moirai
Some wrestling
In the evening, the official openning of the glendi festival began and the VIPs gave the speeches. They mentioned a lot about bilateral relations between Greece/Cyprus-Turkey and the marbles from the parthenon now kept in Britain. Hard to understand as I'm not politics fan. After that, some fashion show
