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 2018 Greek Day on Broadway is on Sunday, June 24, 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.

Greek Day Activities

Activities at the Greek Day on Broadway event include a Kids’ Zone, Greek cooking demonstrations, and live entertainment including performances by various community Greek dance groups, many of whom also often perform at the Greek Food Festival in Surrey earlier in June.

If you like Greek food and Greek music, or just want to have fun while learning more about Greek culture, this is a great event to check out.
