"Greek Festival, Calgary"
The 6th Calgary Greek Festival took place during the third week end in June and it was a smashing success! Thousands of Calgarians as well as visitors from out of the province came through to taste Greek food at its freshest best, have a glass or two of wine, enjoy the live music and folk dances not only from greek groups from other ethnic communities, a very welcomed first.
