The Hellenic Community of Montreal launches its annual festival: The Hellenic Flame/la Flamme Hellénique to be held at the Park Jean-Drapeau from August 10th to August 12th.

In its fifth year, Mr. Billy Balabanos, Secretary of Cultural Affairs for the Hellenic Community, and organizer for this year’s Festival announced that this year’s festival has changed venues. “In keeping with the other cultural groups, who now host their festival on the Île Ste-Hélène, we also found this move to be a logical step since the Parc Jean-Drapeau offers a wonderful setting for families and visitors. ”

The cultural program for the fifth year presents a gamut of activities from dance, music and entertainment fields. Local talent will be showcased 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 groups, as well as La troupe folklorique Syrtaki.

Along with the lively entertainment, the festival will feature cultural booths representing different local associations and artists.

The Hellenic Flame is free for all and will be open from 12 PM to 11 PM from 10th to the 12th. This 3 day Hellenic festival will be a Quebecois-Greek celebration and a “Montreal” Mediterranean experience for all to enjoy.
