From: Greek FestMORE GREEK DANCING, MUSIC, AND FOOD!
Festival guests will find more to love at “GREEKFEST 2023,” a two-day Greek Festival to be held in the Hellenic Cultural Center of the Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Westland. The expansive cultural center halls will be filled with traditional Greek food, live Greek dance and folk music, Greek merchandise, and costumed Greek dancers.
The Aegean Roots will headline the live music at the event, with area Greek dance troupe performances on both days. Festival guests also have opportunities to learn traditional Greek folk dances and join the action on the dance floor.
Greek food is the centerpiece of the festival, with offerings ranging from a traditional Greek dinner – souvlaki, spanakopita, pastitsio and fresh Greek salads to Greek street foods, like gyros and Greek fries. Guests can warm up from the cold temps outside with a cup of traditional chicken lemon rice soup. There will be a wide array of Greek sweets and desserts available for sale, including made-to-order warm, sweet loukoumades (fried donuts drizzled with honey). Adults can enjoy a Greek beer or shot of Ouzo at the taverna, or a Greek coffee or frappé at the coffee house.
Tours of the beautiful Saints Constantine and Helen Church sanctuary and newly installed iconography will be offered throughout both afternoons. A marketplace with Greek gift items, jewelry, cookbooks, icons, books, and things for the home will also be available for those who enjoy shopping. There’s plenty for kids to do, too – with fun crafts and other activities in the children’s area.
Join the fun! All activities will be held indoors at the Hellenic Cultural Center – snow, rain or shine.
