“The Hellenic Flame Festival will brighten up the skies of Montreal, yet again, to celebrate Greek culture”
For its 8th edition, the Hellenic Community of Montreal will be holding its annual festival “The Hellenic Flame” at Jean-Drapeau Park from the 6th - 8th of August 2010.
From the very beginning, the Hellenic Flame Festival was organized as a means to illustrate the cultural and everyday lifestyle of the community and to depict the important contributions this community presents to Quebec’s society. Noticeably, the last four years have been innovative for the HCM in that they pick a different local association each year, which represents a specific region of Greece, to come and showcase its wonders.
