St. Nicholas and Demitrios Church Summer Festival 2010















The Vancouver Greek Summer Festival is an annual celebration of food, entertainment,and family fun -- from the famous "Roast Lamb" and "Loukoumades" (a specialty Greek dessert)to the dozens of live singers and dancers on the Performance Stage to face-painting for the children(and adults!).

The first Greek Summer Festival was held in 1987 as a small weekend event, attended mostly by members of the St. Nicholas & Dimitrios Church as a fundraiser for the church. Since then, the festival (now simply known as "Greek Fest") has grown to 10 days over two weekends, encompassing the Canada Day Holiday.
It is now attended by almost 40,000 people from all areas of the culturally diverse Lower Mainland, as well as many visitors from around the world.

Greek Fest has always been free to attend and is run entirely by volunteers. All proceeds go back to the community, whether to finish the church or to various charities and community organizations. In the past, Greek Fest has supported St. John Ambulance,Collingwood Neighborhood House, BC Children's Hospital, and the Vancouver Fire Fighters Burn Fund and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC and Yukon.

To help serve the members of the community better, the St. Nicholas & Dimitrios Church will be starting a multi-year,multi-million dollar project to build a Community Centre. This Community Centre will be home to a Greek Orthodox School, and will also include a gymnasium and meeting rooms for various after-school and sports activities and programs open to everyone.

Proceeds from Greek Fest over the next few years will be instrumental in bringing this project to fruition.

Join us from June 29th to July 11th 2010 to Live a Day the Greek Way!

Monastiri Taverna in Chania Crete

 The Venetian engineers spent two millenniums building and maintaining the beautiful harbour of Chania. They would calculate the air and the sun's position and build the harbour piece by piece always knowing its potential. The Monastiri is a taverna which has adjusted to the heart of this tradition. The traditional cuisine in conjunction with a charming sunset, good wine accompanied by the soft sound of the waves, and the friendly service, make Taverna Monastiri one of Chania's top choices of dining - both in the afternoon and in the evening. It is a must to try all the house specialties and the very original cakes.

Konyali / Konialis Greek Turkish shared musics - TY romeikos2



The famous Turkish song Konyali is very well known throughout Greece. Naturally it was already sung and danced by the Greeks of Anatolia- Karamanlis, Cappadocians Pontians and others. A version with Greek lyrics was first recorded by Roza Eskenazi in the 1930s. the tune was known also throughout Thrace and was danced as either a free style "Koutsos" or as a "Laisios" - a game dance imitating a hunter, rabbit and dog. In Konya itself and in Central Anatolia it is most often danced playing spoons "Kasik Havasi" or as a Kocek/Kiotsetsi

Anatolitika/Oriental - Greek Urban Music from Smyrna



The sub genre of "Anatolitika" or "Oriental" in Greek urban song touches the areas of rebetika, smyrneika and light theatre tunes (epitheorasis). Usually a Greek orientalist view of the "East" of pashas, maharajahs, harems and sultry females, musically it is a melange of east and west with elements of Greek Turkish and Arabic music with often strong Latin influences and a Hollywood feel. These songs, starting with a few examples in the 20s and 30s (Miserlou being one of the early examples - see my Misirlou upload), became very popular in the late 40s and 50s.

Severn Cullis-Suzuki Un's Earth Summit Speech 1992 - BRAVO SEVERN

Raised in Vancouver and Toronto, Severn Cullis-Suzuki has been camping and hiking all her life. When she was 9 she started the Environmental Children's Organization (ECO), a small group of children committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. They were successful in many projects before 1992, when they raised enough money to go to the UN's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Their aim was to remind the decision-makers of who their actions or inactions would ultimately affect. The goal was reached when 12 yr old Severn closed a Plenary Session with a powerful speech that received a standing ovation.

I spend most of my time in Los Angeles, and... I am not an actor. I believe that I was born with media as part of my karma. I grew up, literally in a newspaper room. My father was a journalist. I would visit his office everyday until I turned twelve years old. I have an A.A. degree in Cinema, and have always had a strong interest in movies. In 2009, I graduated with a B.A. degree in Communications from California State University at Northridge. I like exploring communications and its overall potential; without focusing on one single form of media. While still attending high school; I began and directed the first national newspaper for Greek youth. The newspaper's circulation reached 125, 000 copies per month in high schools all over Greece. Due to this success, I was invited to the European parliament to interview the president of the European Union, at that time, Pat Cox. In addition, I interviewed the president of the European Commission and Italian Prime Minister, Romano Prodi. I was accepted by a Greek University after high school, but took a different route. I took a job offer with a good salary as a full-time reporter for one of the most popular Greek investigative TV shows, "Hidden World". People thought I was lucky to work on this show, but I wanted to travel. I resigned after eight months, took a plane, and landed at JFK, to study and discover America. While in NY, I worked for the New York City public radio (WNYE 91.5 FM) co-hosting the Greek-American Show Aktina. Then, I traveled to Los Angeles to cover the Golden Globe Awards and ... I fell in love with the city. In my life of 23 years, I have interviewed countless politicians, actors, musicians-both very boring and very interesting people. Up until 2008, I was a contributing writer for the largest circulating Greek newspaper, Proto Thema. My most recent exclusive interviews have been with public personalities like: Michael Bloomberg (NYC Mayor), Phil Angelides (democratic candidate for California), Jim Gianopulos (CEO 20th century Fox), John Stamos. I also covered the 2008 US election. You can read some of the interviews here . The last two years I have built and operated several online projects. The most popular is GreekReporter.com is the first Global news portal and agency for Greeks abroad. In the summers - which I usually spend in Greece - I work for Agiocampos Bay. While not in Greece, I am probably in the US doing "everything" for Greek Reporter.
