Greek Day on Broadway

Greek Day on Broadway is a Vancouver street party in late June that features Greek culture, food, music, entertainment and market vendors in Kitsilano.

Vancouver Greek Street Party

Greek Day on Broadway is one of Vancouver’s premier pedestrian-only events and attracts tens of thousands of people each year.

Where and When

In 2019 Greek Day on Broadway is on Sunday, June 23, from 11 in the morning until around 9 o’clock at night.

Each year the street party takes place on West Broadway in Kitsilano along the five blocks between MacDonald and Blenheim, so from the 2800 block of Broadway to the 3200 block.
