Preston Markets will be celebrating Big Fat Greek Day 2 on Sunday 24th June, 2018. This will go from 10.00 am until 3.00 pm at Preston Market.



Greek food reminds me of spanikopita (spinach and feta pies), and Greek salad with olives. Also Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), Gyro (roasted meat on a vertical spit), and of course, Moussaka.

This is sure to be a great cultural experience and family day out. There will not be any plate smashing but there sure will be plenty of dancing, live music, roving entertainment, activities and most importantly, plenty of genuine Greek food! The following photo is from the event last year and shows the variety and just some of the entertainment available on this day.



If you fancy yourself as a "foodie, which I certainly do, make sure you check out all the details for this day below. The entertainment line up will include the following:

  • Manasis School of Greek Dance and Culture
  • Akrites Tou Pontou
  • Pan Macedonian Association of Melbourne and Victoria
  • Music d'Or & K Studios
  • Zorba Workshops
  • Live bands

  • And for the foodies, the line-up will be:

  • Taki's Balls - delicious fried balls topped off with your favourite choice of flavours



  • JB Twister - potato twisters which are always a festival favourite
  • Skewers on the Road
  • The Black Sheep
