Welcome to Ottawa GreekFest
The Ottawa Greek Festival is put on by members of the Hellenic Community of Ottawa (HCO) every August to commemorate the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, the namesake of our church, which is celebrated on August 15th. During the Festival, visitors get to experience delicious Greek cuisine, live music, and dancing. GreekFest is a tremendous undertaking and would not be possible were it not for HCO members that volunteer their time each year to ensure its success.
