2025 Greek national day

On Sunday 23 Mar 2025, approximately 14 members of the Penrith RSL Pipes and Drums headed into Sydney City to perform at the annual Greek National Day. It was a fantastic event and a good rehearsal for the upcoming Bundanoon Highland Gathering.

The Day is a celebration of the Greek Revolution of 1821, commonly known as Independance Day, and takes place in Greece, Cyprus and Greek Diaspora around the 25th of March annually.

The day is a public holiday in Greece and Cyprus and is usually celebrated with parades and other celebratory events on the same day or its eve. The largest event is the military parade in Athens on 25 March, whilst on the previous day, celebrations take place throughout the schools of the country. In other municipalities parades of military divisions, students, clubs, etc are held, as well as church services.
