Head over to Montrose this weekend as the Original Greek Festival Houston 2014 kicks off a busy event-filled October on the grounds of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Thursday, October 2 to Sunday, October 5, 2014.
Get yourself to Houston’s longest running Greek fest, and the one started them all. You’ll find the grounds of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral loaded with tents selling authentic Greek foods and pastries, Greek coffee, wine and beer.
Live Greek music and Greek folk dancing keep the four-day party going. Visitors are also invited to tour the cathedral itself and view religious artifacts and icons on display.
Kids ages 12 and under get in free and can explore the Athenian playground, with inflatable playscapes and mechanical rides.
