What is a Glendi? It is the Greek word for festival. And what better place to hold a Greek festival than in Victoria’s epicentre of Hellenic culture: Oakleigh. We are now in our 4th year and certainly reaching new heights in promoting cultural awareness. Why is this important to us? Because it is the one true thing we all have in common.

The two day event celebrates the local community’s rich Hellenic culture (including the commemoration of the official Greek National Day known as ‘Ohi’ and the Patron Saints of Sts Anargiri) while endorsing and promoting the many other cultural identities that are present in Australia.

I wish all in attendance an enjoyable time and immense pride for our community. I would also like to thank our partners, Monash Council and the Victorian Multicultural Commission, as well as our many sponsors, for their financial support.

Angelo Sardellis, President The Greek Orthodox Community of Oakleigh and District
