Opa!

The 40th annual Greek Festival put on by Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church opens Thursday and continues through Sunday.

Although the other Greek Orthodox church in town also puts on a festival, this one is still the biggest and the best.

Indeed, it's consistently one of the better ethnic festivals put on in the city.

Parking can be difficult near the festival. If you're not familiar with Montrose, a good option is to park at Lamar High School and take the free Metro shuttle (details here).

Best food bets are the souvlaki, tiropita, spanokopita, and baklava. The (bad) Greek wine should be avoided. The beautiful bozouki music is nice. The crowds are not (off times are recommended).

Opa!
