Greek Festival Brings 'Opa' Back to Motor City

Assumption's Greek Festival 2017 kicks-off this Thursday, Aug. 17 and runs through Aug. 20 at Assumption Greek Church & Cultural Center in St. Clair Shores.

Proceeds from the Festival will benefit the many outreach programs of the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church and Cultural Center and Assumption Nursery School and Toddler Center. They will also help support Cass Community Social Services.

Tom Thomas, George Dallas and Bob De Waele, co-chairs of the annual event, dropped by the Fox2 News Studios Saturday morning with dancers from the Hellenic Society for the Performing Arts to preview the event and to showcase some of the authentic Greek food that will be available.
