Vancouver street festival to close several busy roads this weekend
It’s festival season in Vancouver, which means there’s plenty of outdoor fun to be had as well as road closures that commuters need to be aware of to avoid weekend traffic.
On Sunday, June 22, Greek Day on Broadway returns from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. in Kitsilano.
The beloved celebration will feature a world of authentic Greek food and beverages from local shops and vendors, so bring your appetite. There will be souvlaki, spanakopita, loukoumades, and more. Admission is free.
