Glendi Greek Festival

If you took the opportunity to visit the Glendi Greek Festival in Adelaide, you would be glad you did.

For our international readers, the Glendi Festival is a greek-themed festival run each year in Adelaide by the Greek Lion's Association. Held in a park, the fesitval is arranged in a large circle of stalls.

This year, the festival celebrated its 30th anniversary. Quite a feat for a festival, one of the largest of its type in the world.

Great Food, Music, and Dancing were the highlights of this year's festival, with music on four stages. A stage on every corner of festival meant that the attendants were surrounded by greek music everywhere.

The world record attempt on Sunday saw potentially over a thousand attendants try and beat the world record for the longest Zorba line.

Results for this world record attempt are still pending and will be posted on their website once available.

Speeches by important guests, including the Premier and the leader of the opposition (with a message of support from the Prime Minister of Australia) saw the crowd excited and enthused by the speakers' unwavering support for the stolen Parthenon Marbles and their holding of Turkey accountable for the violation of human rights in Northern Cyprus.

Definitely, the best Glendi yet. If you are in Adelaide, South Australia, next year, make sure to come visit.
