St. Louis Greek Fest

The Greeks know how to party — why do you think fraternity houses are part of the Greek system? The St. Louis Greek Fest at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church (1755 Des Peres Road, Town & Country; www.stlouisgreekfest.com) is one of the largest parties of the year, with Olympian portions of food and drink served up all day long. Souvlaki, dolmathes, tiropita and a selection of delightful pastries are available, as is domestic and Greek beer, plus Ouzo and Metaxa. The Kyklos-Hellenic Dance Group performs multiple times in the indoor Hellenic Center throughout the festival, and outside there will be music, a Greek market and tours of the church's Byzantine-style murals. The St. Louis Greek Fest takes place from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday and 11 a.m to 8 p.m. Monday (May 25 to 28) at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church (1755 Des Peres Road, Town & Country; www.stlouisgreekfest.com). Admission is free.
