Antipodes Festival Cocktail Party
About
THE ANTIPODES FESTIVAL COCKTAIL PARTY
Enjoy a VIP Festival experience and support Greek Cultural practice along the way.
The annual Cocktail Party at the famous Antipodes Festival offers guests a VIP experience with premium views of Festival’s Main Stage featuring the marquee act for 2026.
Cocktail Party guests will also enjoy warm Greek hospitality that includes a drinks menu that features premium Greek wines, beers, Greek spirits and soft drinks supplied by Hellenic Wines and Siprits to compliment the 5-star canapé and meze menu by renowned caterers Olive & Thyme.
Attendance to the Cocktail Party is only via a $165(+) tax-deductible donation payable to the Antipodes Centre Trust. GCM Members will receive early access and special pricing at 9am Mon 19 Jan.
Funds raised directly support the Antipodes Centre Trust, the not-for-profit charitable fund of the Greek Community of Melbourne from where all donated proceeds are applied to initiatives such as the Antipodes Festival and the Greek Film Festival and programs in theatre, music, visual arts and dance.
Places are limited and this long-standing festival favourite regularly sells out.
Donate, dress up, and enjoy an unforgettable evening in support of Greek culture.
This event is strictly for 18+
