One of the most beloved cultural events on Brisbane's calendar, Paniyiri is officially making a triumphent return to Musgrave Park in 2025 on the weekend of Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 May—so get ready to eat your weight in honey puffs, baklava and souvlaki. 

Whether you’re into food, culture, or having a plate-smashin’ good time, Australia's longest-running Greek festival is beloved for its multi-sensory offering, including culinary pop-ups and bars showcasing Greek cuisine, a mini Greek village to explore and an epic entertainment line-up with plenty of chances to dance the Zorba.

This year's Paniyiri will see the return of everyone's favourites (read: loukoumades), as well as a new picnic experience for first-day festival goers featuring a delicious grazing box of house-made mezze. Grab your tickets here. 

We all make like we're there for the culture, but let's be real—it's bulk honeypuffs we're after, and you can bet there will be enough to gorge on that you won't want to see another honeypuff until Paniyiri 2026.

Tickets to Paniyiri 2025 start from $19.90 (kids under 13 are free) and you can grab them online here.
