Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church’s Greek Festival in Campbell, Ohio, begins Friday, February 10, and continues through Sunday, February 12.
Hours are from 3 to 10 p.m. Friday; noon to 10 p.m. Saturday; and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday.
The church sponsors two Greek festivals each year, explained Rev. Steve Denas. The one beginning Friday will be indoors, he said, at the community center across the street from the church at 401 12th St.
Festival admission is free, but the church charges for dinner and la carte items. The food will all be made on-site, said the Rev. Denas, and will include gyros and souvlakia, which is shish kebab made with pork or lamb. Salads and desserts also will be available. Beverages will include beer, wine and Greek coffee.
Rev. Denas said the festival serves two purposes: to welcome the community in to experience Greek culture and to raise money for the church.
Monastic nuns from Saxonburg, Pa., are expected to display religious icons and artifacts, he said.
Youth dancers will perform traditional dances at 5, 6 and 7 p.m. Friday; 4:30, 6 and 7 p.m. Saturday; and 3:30, 6 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
