The annual Halifax Greek Festival is indoors and outdoors. The number of participants is largely dependent on the weather, and the number of participants are not there at one-time, it is the expected amount over the 4-day weekend. We have requested your presence on our two longer and higher-traffic days (Saturday + Sunday). This is a food festival, and we do offer non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, kid's activities (bouncy castle), and dance performances as entertainment. We do have tables + chairs available for you and can rent a small tent if you do not have one to provide.

What is the Ratha Yatra Festival? Also known as the Festival of the Chariots, the Ratha Yatra Festival originated in the ancient city of Puri, India. During the festival, three mammoth rathas (chariots), upon which the deities of Jagannatha, Baladeva, and Subhadra are seated, are pulled by rope on a jubilant procession called a yatra, attracting over a million people annually for the past few thousand years. The parade itself symbolizes the pulling of the Lord into our hearts, and it is done with great devotion to the accompaniment of chanting and dancing, called kirtan. Please see last year even video in below link. https://youtu.be/Cd7qD1WEjf4
