Greek Fest gets OK from Palatine council

You know one of Palatine's top festivals isn't far off when organizers appear before the village council seeking approval for the annual event.

Not surprisingly, the council gave a thumbs-up to the long-running Greek Fest, including a waiver from a village sound amplification ordinance so patrons can enjoy music late into the night.

Hosted by St. Nectarios Greek Orthodox Church, 133 S. Roselle Road, the bash is set for 4 to 11 p.m. June 22, noon to midnight June 23 and noon to 11 p.m. June 24. Drive through service for food is scheduled for 4 to 9 p.m. June 22, noon to 9 p.m. June 23 and noon to 9 p.m. June 24.

Palatine officials say there will be traffic control modifications at this year's Greek Fest, including using St. Nectarios' east exit only for bus shuttles.

At least 15,000 guests typically attend Greek Fest over the weekend. The fun includes Greek food, dancing, children's games, shopping at a Greek Marketplace and live music.
