Upper Darby, PA – Smokey grills, Greek folk dancing and a lot of kefi are part of the big weekend at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, where Greek festival season has launched. Once you valet your car across the street, and walk down the driveway of the church passed the Greek columns, the parking lot converted into a small Greek village comes alive. The language, food, and people are all part of the entertainment.
