Greek Precinct, Melbourne

[1] The area runs adjacent to Melbourne Chinatown on Little Bourke Street.

Globally, Hellenic identity and values are passed on from one generation to the next and do not depend upon one's location in the world.

[3] As a result of the extensive historical and cultural ties between the Greek community of Melbourne and their Greek homeland, Melbourne is a sister city to Thessaloniki, Greece's second largest city and cultural centre.

[6] In March 2009, the Government of Victoria and the City of Melbourne announced that the Greek Precinct would receive a A$3.5 million rejuvenation.

The festival features three stages of free entertainment, children's rides and activities and over 60 food, drink and craft stalls.
