The parish of St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church invites everyone to come say OPA! at their annual Greek Festival on Saturday, July 11th from 3 p.m. – 11 p.m. and Sunday, July 12th from 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. The Festival has long been known as a must-see and taste event in the Palos area. So come enjoy a traditional Greek-style festival loaded with great Greek food, fun, fellowship!
Jim Korbakes, a long-time Palos Heights resident and President of the Parish Council, said, “I grew up in this parish and every year we strive to bring out the best in authentic Greek food and Greek hospitality to the southwest side. We’re very proud of who we are and want to share our great traditions with all!”
The grills will be fired up all day and night with Greek-style seasoned chickens and tender, marinated pork shish kebob being grilled. And of course, the ever-popular gyros sliced fresh for you. The ladies of the parish have been busy for weeks baking all sorts of Greek pastries from sweet and nutty baklava to buttery-rich kourambiedes and many other unique and traditional pastries that you won’t find anywhere else.
