In Photos: Greek Independence Day Parade takes place along Danforth Avenue
The Greek Independence Day Parade took place along Danforth Avenue on the afternoon of Sunday, April 6.
The parade was organized by the Greek Community of Toronto, and saw a large turnout of participants and spectators.
The parade commemorates Greece’s independence from the Ottoman Empire following the revolution in 1821. Greece officially gained independence in 1830 after the London Accords recognized it as an independent state. Greek Independence Day is celebrated on March 25, and the parade is held on a Sunday close to that date along Greek Town on the Danforth.
Beach Metro Community News’ Joshua McGinnis was at the parade and the following are his photos:
