The car that belonged to Rock ’n’ Roll George (a true Brisbane icon who did laps of the city for over 50 years) Everyone knew him. Songs were written about him. He became part of Brisbane’s story.

At the festival, keep an eye out for the iconic 1952 FX Holden, once his own… a fitting tribute to the city we’re celebrating.

This isn’t just about looking back. It’s about celebrating everything that’s brought us here.

As part of Paniyiri’s 50th celebrations, we’re bringing the magic of Greek cooking to the next generation with our Kids Kouzina cooking classes, proudly supported by Greek Law Offical.

A hands-on, fun-filled experience where kids can learn, create, and taste their way through Greek cuisine, running across both festival days.

Got a MasterChef in the making? Add Kids Kouzina to your ticket, and you might just become the parent who never has to cook dinner again 😉💙

One night. One bridge. One unforgettable celebration. 🇬🇷✨

Still not over the magic of last night as Brisbane came together to celebrate 50 years of Paniyiri with Brisbane’s Biggest Greek Dinner on the Goodwill Bridge.

The dancing, the music, the food, the ouzo, the atmosphere… pure Greek joy from start to finish.

A moment for the history books and a reminder that nobody celebrates quite like the Greek community
