Cyprus Festival attracts large crowds

March 2026 The 11th Cyprus Festival 2026, held in perfect weather conditions, took place at the premises of the Cyprus Community of South Australia in Welland. This year’s festival was better and larger than ever before, featuring music bands and dance groups, while the Premier of South Australia, Peter Malinauskas, announced that the State Government will provide $40,000 in annual funding for four years. Also in attendance at the Cyprus Festival were the Minister for Police Joe Szakacs, Minister Tom Koutsantonis, Mayor of West Torrens Michael Coxon, Mayor of Charles Sturt Angela Evans, the High Commissioner of Cyprus Antonis Sammoutis, and many others. More names of local identities can be found on the pages featuring photographs.
