Various Greek cultural celebrations are scheduled to take place across Australia in late 2026.

In Canberra, Hellenic Week will run from October 26 to November 1, featuring traditional music, film, sport, and a visit from the Evzones, the Hellenic Presidential Guard. The Gold Coast Greek Festival is also set for October 31 and November 1 at HOTA, expecting approximately 10,000 attendees for food, music, and dance.

Additionally, the 31st Greek Film Festival will be held in Melbourne and Sydney from October 13 to October 25. The festival features over 50 films, including the Australian premiere of the comedy ‘Best Friends Forever’, and aims to serve as a “cultural bridge for the Greek diaspora in Australia.”
