Greektown Chicago’s popular Taste of Greektown festival returns this month with the city’s largest celebration of Hellenic cuisine and culture along Halsted Street from Adams to Van Buren. The neighborhood’s acclaimed Greek restaurants are the stars of the show, including 9 Muses Bar & Grill, Athena Restaurant, Mr. Greek Gyros, Ithaki Estiatorio, Spectrum Bar & Grill and Zeus Restaurant—many of them Greek American family legacies that have been open in Greektown for 25-40+ years. The 36th annual Taste of Greektown festival is presented by the Greektown Chamber of Commerce with additional support from Greektown SSA #16. The festival will be open Friday, August 28 from 4-10 p.m.; Saturday, August 29 from 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; and Sunday, August 30 from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Admission is free to all, with a suggested donation benefitting the Greektown Chamber of Commerce.
