Brisbane Paniyiri Festival 2006
15 - 21 May 2006
Greek Club and Convention Centre & Musgrave Park, South Brisbane
Think: rowdy leg kicking and dizzy whirlwinding on the dance floor, fantastic food in endless amounts, ‘authentic‘ Greek wine and beer (of course!!!) , live music and the (requisite) sideshow shooting ally….
Festival Information From Organisers:
Come and see hellenic hospitality at its very best with the annual celebration of everything Greek in Brisbane. Everyone is invited to take part in the hugely popular weekend of food and dancing in Musgrave Park on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 May. Plus there are a range of other events being held during the week.
The main weekend of entertainment is on Saturday 20 May 2:00pm – 9:30pm and Sunday 21 May 10:00am – 7.30pm.
Australia’s very own Greek goddess Effie returns to Brisbane for the event, hosting the popular Greek Dancing with the Stars. The Paniyiri Main Stage in Musgrave Park will host almost 20 hours of entertainment, including grape stomping, olive and honeypuff eating competitions, the famous Kapa Bros., Hellenic dancing, Ta Palikaria and of course Zorba Dancing. In Musgrave Park more than 30 food stalls will showcase the tastes, recipes and secrets of food from all regions of Greece.
On the Saturday evening an attempt will be made at the Guinness Book of World Records - Longest Zorba. Over 3000 participants are needed to take the crown. Will you be there?

Yeah I was there on Saturday and it was great fun. Although I wasn’t willing to participate in the Zorba dance, I still had a good time. I only wish they would carry more types of alcohol.

Was heading somewhere else and then i came across a whole bunch of people…so i followed the crown , and before i knew it i entered the honey puff eating comp as a wildcard cause someone didn’t show up nd before you jknow it i won the competition rubbing shoulders with greek Effie.
All i won was a plarque, which i can now put it up on my great hall of shame.
Could’ve at least won an iPOD or something for humiliating myself…hehehe
