Antipodes Festival postponed For the second year in a row

For the second year in a row  the Antipodes Festival has been postponed due to the pandemic.

The Greek Community of Melbourne announced that “after much consultation and risk assessment, was decided to postpone the Antipodes Festival“.

The Festival was scheduled for 5 and 6 March.

The initial dates for March had been announced before the highly transmissible new variant Omicron brought an exponential surge in cases

According to the announcement  the Festival will  now take place in October.

The full announcement reads as follow:

“After much deliberation, the Greek Community of Melbourne believes that it is in the best interest of the community to postpone the 2022 Antipodes Festival.

The safety of our staff, performers, contractors, and audience are our primary concern and responsibility so we have decided to move the dates of the festival to later in the year.

The new dates are October 22nd and 23rd so save the dates now! We can’t wait to have you join us for the biggest celebration of Greek Culture in Australia“.
