The city's Greek-American community will swing open its doors for the 52nd consecutive year to share its rich hospitality and culture. Delicious cuisine and pastries authentically made in the festival kitchen, spirited live music and dance, and a marketplace brimming with imports, will transform the corner of Hillcrest & Alpha into Dallas' own Greek island.
Favorite features include the Groceria (stock up on everything from spices and cheeses to olive oil and olive trees); the cooking school (ongoing demonstrations by real Greek foodies); and the pastry store (where baklava, is just one of many scrumptious choices).
The wide-ranging marketplace or Agora features imported goods as well as the creations of Greek-American artists and artisans, including "Olympic Artist" Rip Kastaris, whose commissioned work for the Beijing Olympics will be displayed, and Dallas artist, photographer and gallery owner M.K. Semos.
Live Greek music, ongoing performances by the colorful festival dancers, tours of the church and its Byzantine iconography, and the Greek Cultural Center all add up to an exhilarating three-day Greek-style celebration.
