About Ohi Day
Observed annually on 28 October, Ohi Day, also known as the Day of the Great “No”, commemorates Greece’s refusal in 1940 to accept the ultimatum issued by Benito Mussolini’s regime. This refusal led to Greece’s entry into the Second World War on the side of the Allies and became a powerful symbol of resistance against fascism.
For the Greek people, Ohi Day represents a moment of remembrance, pride and gratitude towards those who defended the country’s freedom and independence. It also reaffirms the values of democracy, justice, human dignity and human rights.
The event held at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation offers members and friends of the Greek community an opportunity to honour Greece’s historical legacy through music, tradition and the involvement of younger generations.
