The Dayton Greek Festival takes place on the weekend after Labor Day every September at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Dayton, Ohio. It's an excellent opportunity to try delicious Greek food, pastries, shop for arts and crafts, see Greek cuisine demonstrations, try Greek beer and wine, and enjoy music and vibrant dance performances.
