Four-Day Ocean City Greek Festival Kicks Off Friday

OCEAN CITY – For one weekend in the height of summer, the Roland E. Powell Convention Center hosts the Ocean City Greek Festival, an event aimed at draw visitors inside who are looking to be, “Greek for the weekend.”

This year, the 27th Annual Ocean City Greek Festival, Delmarva’s largest festival of its kind, is back to being held on its usual dates, the last weekend of July. For the past three years, the festival had been moved to a weekend in early July. This year, the dates are Friday, July 29 through the Monday, Aug. 1 at the Convention Center on 40th street.

Last year’s Greek Festival brought in approximately 6,000 visitors. With the date resituated to the end of July, attendance is expected to be surpassed this year.

Admission to the festival is free, as is parking at the Convention Center.

With temperatures soaring and heat indices surpassing 100 degrees, the air-conditioned event may offer the respite from the heat people are seeking.
