This past weekend I enjoyed a beautiful night and a wonderful Taste of Greece on Halsted in Greektown. We visited this 2 day fest on Saturday night but I had heard that Sunday was the busier day. Halsted was jammed with tents, tables, people and tons of food and drink. Many people were carrying around bottles of wine and ouzo and gorging themselves on Greek delicacies like baklava, gyros, and souvlaki.
There were also dance groups performing, including my favorite, Dionysos Dance Troupe. http://dionysosdancetroupe.com/ They perform dances from every area of Greece. Saturday night they engaged their audience in Cretan dances. Afterwards they asked the audience to join them in dancing and many people rushed to find a place in line.
Chicago is a proud city not just for its vast amount of museums, restaurants, and historical markers but also for its great cultural diversity.
