Glendi Greek Celebration
Hosted at the private home of Kris & Kenny Dudunakis
Saturday, August 29, 2026 at 5:00 PM
Step into a world of vibrant tradition and joyous festivity at a Glendi—a Greek celebration that brings people together for an unforgettable experience. From the moment you arrive, you’re swept up in the rhythms of lively music, the warmth of laughter, and the irresistible aromas of authentic Greek cuisine.
Dancers in colorful costumes lead the way as guests join in classic circle dances, clapping and moving to the sounds of bouzouki and lyra. Long tables overflow with mouthwatering dishes—succulent roasted lamb, savory pastitsio, tangy tzatziki, and sweet baklava—served family-style.
A Glendi is more than just a party; it’s a celebration of community, heritage, and the simple joys of life. Whether you’re Greek or just Greek at heart, everyone is welcome to join the fun and make memories that will last a lifetime.
