Time Out says

Lovers of gyros, halloumi and the zorba, listen up. A huge one-day celebration of Greek culture is returning to the Preston Market in Melbourne's north, with a fun-filled, free event. 

On Sunday, April 7, Greek Day will transform the market into a Hellenic paradise, with loads of specialty food, live music, dance entertainment, kids' activities and more. It's a day for celebrating cultural diversity, with a chance for everyone to come together and experience Greek culture in all its glory.

Running from 10am to 3pm, the northside market will become a vibrant Greek party, with Manasis School of Greek Dance and Culture providing entertainment with energetic performances of traditional moves with authentic folk costumes. 

Of course, don't forget the delicious Greek food on offer. Event attendees can expect a raft of exciting food and market pop-up stalls, including St. Gerry’s Greek Donuts for tasty loukoumades. Plus, to keep the little ones entertained, a variety of kids activities will be running from 11am to 1pm. 

It's set to be a delightful day out and best of all, it's totally free to attend. Find out more on the website
