One of the city’s oldest cultural food festivals is gearing up for its 43rd year. The hugely popular Birmingham Greek Festival, October 1-3, goes back four generations in the Greek community, bringing music, dance and especially extraordinary Greek cuisine to festival-goers. Festivities get underway at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Cathedral Church, which was founded in 1906 and is one of the oldest Greek Orthodox parishes in the country. Visitors can also take guided tours to learn about the impressive architecture of the church. Don’t let the domathes and baklava pass you by. Drive-thru and takeout are available. www.bhamgreekfestival.com
