Zorba in the Park

What to Expect

Zorba in the Park brings the vibrant Mediterranean spirit to life with one of Melbourne’s favourite Greek bands, Estudiantina of Melbourne. This lively event is perfect for families and community members looking to enjoy music, dance, and creative activities in a welcoming outdoor setting.

You can participate in a free Greek dancing class that kicks off the evening, followed by an energetic performance by the band. The atmosphere is filled with joyful rhythms and a strong sense of community spirit, making it a memorable night for all ages.

If you get hungry, Electrify Boroondara offers a unique EV-powered sausage sizzle, and there are light snacks and refreshments available from the Kombi Van. It’s a great chance to chat with volunteers about adopting eco-friendly habits.
