Photo gallery: 2023 Let’s Go Greek Festival at Parramatta

It was all Greek to Parramatta, which converted into a village filled with souvlaki, donkey rides and non-stop dancing at one of the city’s biggest cultural festivals. See our photo gallery.

Thousands flocked to Parramatta for a good hearty dose of Mediterranean culture at the annual Let’s Go Greek Festival on Sunday to revel in the fun of Greece.

Crowds feasted on a host of traditional fare including souvlaki, loukoumades and octopus on a sun-drenched day on the grounds of the St Ioannis Greek Orthodox Church.
