This weekend marks the annual Taste of Greece festival hosted by St. Mary's Greek Orthodox Church. The celebration boasts Greek food, drinks, dancing and music. It's a parish that's spent over 100 years worshiping in Minneapolis who aim to share Greek culture and faith with the surrounding community.
