The Hellenic Community of Montreal will hold its annual Greek Festival at the charming venue of Parc Jean-Drapeau. This enjoyable park will be the setting for the 6th annual Hellenic Flame festival from August 8 to August 10.

This year’s theme will focus on Arcadia, the heart of the mountainous Peloponnese region. The Arcadians are believed to be the oldest inhabitants of the Peloponnese and have a rich culture of art and Greek traditions. The Hellenes from this area now living in Quebec bring with them the customs and have integrated them in their Quebec daily lives- this includes the dances and of course, the food.

The Hellenic Flame festival will highlight these traditions throughout the festival activities with a special treat and direct from Greek Arcadian region Clarinetist Kosta Kokkoris and singer Yiota Kokkoris who will serenade the crowd with the sounds from the Arcadian mountains on Saturday and Sunday.

Other activities
Friday night starting at 6pm -  BOUZOUKI NIGHT by Absolute Disco
Saturday and Sunday -  VASSILIS GALATIS 

Local talent will also be presented with popular groups within the Hellenic Community.  Popular folkloric groups will also be performing, among which are:
 
The Hellenic Community Dance groups – Terpsihori and Orpheas



The Hellenic Community of Montreal choir

The Hellenic Flame is free for all and will be open daily from Noon to 11 PM from August 8th to the 10th. This three-day Hellenic festival will be a Quebecois-Greek celebration and a “Montreal” Mediterranean experience for all to enjoy.
