The Cyprus Society of Greater Philadelphia will celebrate its 70th anniversary on Saturday, November 14, 2026, with a dinner honoring former society president Georghia Kurnellas at Adelphia Restaurant & Events in Deptford, New Jersey.
Founded in 1956, the society has maintained ties among Cypriot families in the Delaware Valley through cultural programs, community gatherings, and commemorations of events in Cyprus.
Kurnellas has been involved in the organization’s activities for many years. She was serving as president when the society presented Cypriot singer Michalis Violaris in a 2019 concert at Philadelphia’s Suzanne Roberts Theatre. More recently, the society helped organize a 2024 program at the Penn Museum examining Cyprus’s archaeological and cultural heritage.
The anniversary dinner will begin with a cocktail hour and premium open bar at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. Live music will be provided by the Kefi Band.
Admission is $110 for adults, $90 for students from age 13 through college (student ID required), and $35 for children ages 12 and under.
The event will take place at Adelphia Restaurant & Events, 1750 Clements Bridge Road, Deptford, NJ 08096.
