The 5th Annual Greek Festival at St. Catherine Greek Orthodox Church will take place from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday.
Bill Manos and other local Greek chefs will prepare authentic Greek cuisine and pastries to eat there or carry out. There will be gyros, chicken and potatoes, Greek salad, baklava, hot loukoumathes (honey puffs) and more. There will also be a gift shop and historical church tours with Father Tom Parthenakis and an iconographer. There will be music, dancing and videos of Greece and its 600 islands.
