Houston Weekend Events

Greek Festival

An annual Houston event this weekend is the Greek Festival. It's one of the activities in Houston that we all look forward to each year. Make sure you tour the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral complex near Midtown Houston. The tours consist of a video presentation on the history of Orthodox Christianity and our Annunciation parish, followed by a question and answer period with the Cathedral clergy. Learn the symbolism of the beautiful Byzantine-style Cathedral.

The dance is a living vital force in the Greek way of life, and its spirit brings people together with a true feeling of camaraderie. It's a fundamental aspect of the Greek religious festivities, national holidays, and family celebrations such as weddings and baptisms - events that center around the church life of Orthodox parishioners.
