“The Greek Festival of Sydney is one of the longest running cultural events in NSW,” Mr Williams said.
“The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government is delighted to support this outstanding festival which enriches our multicultural calendar and supports our thriving multicultural and arts sector.
“NSW is home to more than 130,000 people with Greek ancestry, and more than 80,000 people who speak Greek at home. This is a much-loved festival by the
Greek Australian community.”
