Prepare for a sensory overload as Brisbane’s biggest cultural event returns to Musgrave Park on Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21.
Tickets are already on sale to this must-visit event that boasts a huge entertainment lineup of cooking demonstrations, plate smashing, rides for the kids, celebrity appearances, live music, dancing, fireworks and more!
We all know what you’re really here to find out more about…the food! It’s widely known that if you want a good feed, you’ve got to go Greek, and this year’s Paniyiri festival promises to deliver. With 20+ food stalls set to pump out an inordinate amount of traditional cuisine from 11 different Greek regions, you can tuck into multiple helpings of BBQ calamari, souvlaki, baklava, spanakopita and more (with zero judgement).
Picnic at Paniyiri is the focus, so pack your bags, wear your stretchy pants and be prepared for two epic days of basking in the sun, sipping wine and feasting on Greek delicacies. You’ll even be able to purchase your own Paniyiri picnic blanket – and trust us, you’ll need the extra room!
Our top pick? You can’t leave without trying the honey puffs. Deep fried doughnut-like pastries slathered in honey, sesame seeds, fruits, nuts, and even Nutella.
Of course, you can’t have a cultural festival without the culture, and Paniyiri is a proud celebration of Greek dance, music and mythology. Whether you are the dancing queen or have two left feet, we guarantee you’ll be up and revelling with the best of them at this beloved festival.
Come along, smash a few plates and enjoy the sweet Greek life without needing your passport. It’s easily Brisbane’s best party in a park, so be sure to grab your tickets today. Opa!
