Opa! Greektown Chicago’s popular Taste of Greektown festival will make its return the weekend following Labor Day on Friday, September 6 through Sunday, September 8, 2024. Celebrating its 34th year with the city’s largest celebration of Hellenic cuisine and culture the festival takes place along Halsted Street from Adams to Van Buren. As awlays, the neighborhood’s acclaimed Greek restaurants are the stars of this show, along with live music and entertainment, Greek dancing, unique shopping and retail, family friendly activities and more.

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 retails stores in Greektown are family-owned businesses that have been open for decades.  

The 34th annual Taste of Greektown festival is presented by the Greektown Chamber of Commerce with additional support from Greektown SSA #16. The festival will be open Friday, September 6 from 4-10 p.m.; Saturday, September 7 from 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; and Sunday, September 8 from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Admission is free to all, with a suggested donation of $7 benefiting the Greektown Chamber of Commerce.
