Event Image St. George's Day Celebration
Saturday, April 24, 2010
from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm
For one day, it’s all Greek to us! St. George is the patron of shepherds. Hence his day calls for big celebrations in rural places, with much feasting and dancing, so that’s exactly what we’ll do. Enjoy the beautiful folkloric dances of the Hellenic Heritage Dance Group and listen to the stories of the Greek gods.
