The annual Grecian Fest kicked off its three-day run Wednesday at St. John the Divine Greek Orthodox Church in Wheeling. The festival, which runs through Friday, celebrates every corner of Greek culture, from food to dance to music to faith. Guests were able to dine in two areas while watching classic Greek dances to the tune of a live band.
