The Yassou! Greek Cultural Festival, known for packing downtown Grand Rapids with Greek culture, cuisine and music each summer, announced it will not be returning in 2026.
The festival’s website has a pop-up banner saying organizers are taking a “much needed break.”
“We will be taking 2026 off, but already looking forward to eating, dancing, and being Greek with our community in 2027!” it reads.
