2020 Greek Summer Festival Update
Due to Covid-19 and the need to keep our community and volunteers safe, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Greek Summer Festival that was scheduled for the weekend of August 22-23, 2020. However, we still wanted to celebrate Greek culture, food, dance, charity, and help support our church. Instead of the Greek Summer Festival, we are happy to announce the Greek Festival Odyssey!
During the weekend of August 22-23, we will encourage our festival community to visit participating restaurants for take-out or social distancing dining and enjoy some of the same Greek food, desserts, coffee, and refreshments that we typically serve at our summer festival. To complete their Odyssey, we will also encourage our quests to donate a grocery bag of non-perishable food to our favorite mission, FOCUS MN, to help those in need in our St. Paul community. There will be prizes for those that complete their quest.
If there are any in the community who have a restaurant or know of a restaurant owner who may be interested in adding their restaurant in our Odyssey, please contact Phyllis Kapetanakis phylliskapetanakis@gmail.com. We thank those who have already signed up!
