What do plate smashing, honey puffs and a giant sand sculpture have in common? They're all going to be at Bribie's festival of Greek food, culture and fun,[i]Bribie Paniyiri[/i]! The festival first began as a way for people with Greek heritage to share their culture with local people, and now has a reputation as being a great day out for the whole family.



This year, [i]Bribie Paniyiri[/i] will feature traditional handmade Greek cuisine including indulgently mouth-watering Greek sweets and coffee. Those whole love to dance can kick up their heels to the live Greek music, including the ever popular Zorba, played by Greek band [i]Melodia[/i].



There'll also be a sand sculpture artist who will amaze you as he creates a massive sculpture before your eyes. The budding master chefs out there will love the Greek cooking demonstrations and the children's fun zone is sure to keep the kids happy.



Organisers promise, "This is as close as it gets to a traditional Greek village. Where else in the world could you see a small Greek church on an island?"

Best news of all for the budget conscious, entry to Paniyiri is free. The Bribie Paniyiri day will start with an Orthodox Liturgy from 8.30am till 9.30am by Father Dimitri, with children's rides available from 9.30am.

There's a free bus available from Brisbane on the morning of July 5th, but bookings are essential. The bus will leave from St George Church at 7.15am sharp, and from the Dormition of the Theotokou church, Creek Rd, at 7.30am and is due to arrive at Bribie Island at approx 8.30am. To book your seat, please contact the GOC St George Community office on 3844 3669.
