CHICAGO – The 34th annual Taste of Greektown Festival is presented September 6-8 by the Greektown Chamber of Commerce with additional support from Greektown Special Service Area (SSA) #16. The Greektown neighborhood has been the epicenter of Chicago’s acclaimed Greek dining scene for decades, located along Halsted Street for over 60 years. Blending Old World traditions with the bustling energy of Chicago’s West Loop, Greektown still has the largest concentration of Greek restaurants in Chicago as well as many new establishments, and remains anchored by its celebration of heritage, community, and history. Many restaurants and retail stores in Greektown are family-owned businesses that have been open for decades.

The festival hours: Friday, September 6, 4-10 PM; Saturday, September 7, and Sunday, September 8, 11 AM-10 PM. Admission is free to all, with a suggested donation of $7 benefitting the Greektown Chamber of Commerce.

More details on participating Taste of Greektown restaurants, merchants, and live entertainment will be announced in August.
