4th Saturday in July
This festival is one we get to nearly every year. It is incredibly fun, with great music and yummy Greek food. Its held at the Greek Assumption Orthodox Church in Madison. The music is live, performed by Pericles since 2010.
Above are people dancing to the theme of, “Zorba the Greek” this year. My sister-in-law is a member of this church and works hard as a volunteer at the festival. Here she is posing with me.
A great many treats are offered downstairs, lets go!
Enjoy some rich Greek coffee after your delicious meal, served by a couple of friendly ladies.
Come here for a great time with your neighbors in Madison. A little bit of Greece and a great summer celebration. Opa!

I really enjoyed this, especially the dancing. It brought back memories of when Cindy and I were in Greece and I got to dance on stage to “Zorba the Greek”. Of course I made a fool of myself because I didn’t know the steps but I did manage to kick up at the right time, and I had fun. They didn’t seem to mind, after all they asked me to join them; I didn’t just get up on stage. Back then I was always ready to try something new for a new adventure of some kind. It was safer traveling back then, I no longer feel the same way. Lovely country though, I’d like to go back.

I have never been in the church but I love it! I love it because as you drive down the street toward Red Letter News, a nasty porn and “toy” shop, the cross of the church is clearly visable above and behind the store!! If we have to have such an institution on one of our main drags it is nice to have a reminder of better things.
