Welcome to Greek-Peloponnesian Festival 2010.

The Peloponnesian Confederation is holding its second annual Greek-Peloponnesian Festival to provide you with the opportunity to experience the unique culture, flavours, sounds and traditions of the Peloponnese region of Greece.

Peloponnisos is the southern peninsula of Greece joined to the rest of the Greek mainland by the Isthmus of Corinth. The name is derived from Pelopos Nisos meaning the Island of Pelops, a legendary hero.  In medieval times the area became known as "Moria" and it is still sometimes called by that name.  This is where the name of our website ‘Morias’ is derived from.

The Festival is made possible through the cooperation of seven Federations and over thirty Associations that represent Greek-Australians whose heritage stems from one of the seven Prefectures of the Peloponnese region of Greece.

Major highlights of the Festival include:

• Thirteen cultural and entertainment events to be held over a 15-day period
• Cultural events presented by high profile guest speakers
• A 2-day Peloponnesian ‘Paniyiri’ featuring musicians from Greece, traditional foods and other stalls
• Traditional Peloponnesian dancing displays

For full details on each event please refer to the event page in this website.  Information is also available through Antenna TV, Community Radio stations and local newspapers.

Τhe Peloponnesian Confederation and its member organisations invite you, your family, Philhellenes and generally ALL AUSTRALIANS to "Your Peloponnesian Festival" to celebrate Peloponnesian history, experience its literature, culture, flavour, colour, and to listen to unique traditional and modern music!

So let's celebrate! OΠA!
