A Mile High tradition reaches a milestone this weekend as the Denver Greek Festival returns for its 60th annual event Friday through Sunday.

Hosted by the parishioners of the Assumption Cathedral, the Denver Greek Festival celebrates Greek culture with homemade food, dancing, live entertainment, music, Greek foods, beer and wine.

The festival takes place on the grounds of the Assumption Greek Orthodox Cathedral — the big gold dome — at East Alameda Avenue and Leetsdale Drive near Glendale.

The festival features traditional Greek foods such as a gyros sandwich, souvlaki, pastistio, dolmathes, keftedes and spanakoptia, as well as desserts including baklava, kourambiethes, paximadia and koulourakia.

Organizers said the festival has been elevated for its 60th year, with more space, faster service and better flow throughout the festival to make it more enjoyable for guests. The festival footprint has been expanded with multiple gyro stations, expanded kitchen capacity and new equipment.
