The 2014 Asheville Greek Festival Photo by Carrie Eidson

Be Greek for a day — or a weekend. Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church of Asheville will host a celebration of Greek traditional foods, crafts and dances starting today, Sept. 26, and reveling on until Sunday, Sept. 28.

The festival includes kids activities, a full menu of tasty treats, cooking demonstrations and a marketplace for Greek themed gifts. Check out Toni Sherwood’s story Eat, Drink and Learn to Cook Greek for more details, or just head on over to Montford today or tomorrow between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m., or on Sunday between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
