The 2012 NJ Greek Fest
Has Been Extended to Sunday! March 24,
2012 Westfield, NJ - Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church's
annual festival "NJ Greek Fest" which for the last two years has been
held on the weekend after
the Memorial Day weekend will continue in that tradition again this
year. Although the festival was first scheduled to be held only
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Sunday has now been added.
Since Sunday June 3rd is the day the Greek Orthodox Church celebrates
Pentecost, the highest ranking Great Feast of the Lord second only to
Easter, it was originally thought that the Church should not ask
volunteers to work on this very holy day. However after much
deliberation it was decided that an exception would be made this
year. In the future, if Penecost falls on the Sunday after
Memorial Day, the Festival will be moved to another date.
This year's festival
will be on Thursday May 31, Friday June 1st, Saturday June
2nd and Sunday June 3rd. On Thursday the Festival will be open
from 5-10pm, on Friday and Saturday the Festival will be from Noon -
11pm, and on Sunday the Festival will begin after Church Services at
noon and conclude at 5 pm.
