Crowds flocked to Ridge Boulevard last weekend for Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church’s annual three-day cultural festival. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Ophelia showed up too.
Friday’s good weather allowed festivalgoers to enjoy music, dancing, rides, games and food, but rain limited the attendance on Saturday and Sunday.
Elected officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, stopped by during the weekend.
“The weather may have put a damper on our gyros, but not our spirit,” said Evans Kotsis, a parish council member who helped organize the event.
