Father Simon Thomas of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church said the festival has become a community tradition.
"You hear about Greek hospitality being famous — that's what our festival is," Father Thomas said. "It's our hospitality. We want you to come, enjoy and experience our perish, our faith, our culture. That makes us who we are as a people."
