Attracting over 20,000 people, the Oakleigh Glendi is a celebration of cultural diversity with an emphasis on Greek culture through music, performance and food.

This, free, two – day event celebrates the local community’s rich Hellenic culture, including the commemoration of the official Greek National Day known as ‘Ohi’ and the Patron Saints of Sts Anargiri, while endorsing and promoting the many other cultural identities that are present in Australia.
