This year, Saint Dimitrios Greek Orthodox Church in Union, NJ, proudly hosted its annual festival, bringing together parishioners and their American friends from the surrounding neighborhood. Under the dedicated leadership of Father Eugenios Tsaraminidis and Mrs. Betty Spyropoulos, president of the community and chair of the festival the event was a resounding success. Their hard work, along with the efforts of the festival committee, ensured a memorable experience for all attendees.
The festival featured an array of attractions that celebrated Greek culture and traditions. Guests enjoyed live music and traditional Greek dancing, which energized the crowd and created a vibrant atmosphere. Numerous booths offered a wide selection of arts, crafts, and cultural exhibits, showcasing the rich heritage of Greece. The food was a major highlight, with a delicious spread of traditional Greek dishes, including the ever-popular loukoumades, which were a crowd favorite.
Both Father Eugenios and Mrs. Spyropoulos expressed their satisfaction with the turnout, noting that this year’s festival set a high standard for future events. Their enthusiasm and commitment to the parish were evident throughout the celebration, and they are already looking ahead to making the next festival even bigger and better.
