Today is Oxi Day, or the “Day of No,” a celebration of when the prime minister of Greece said no to the Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini, and his desire to occupy certain “strategic locations” in Greece during World War Two. People of Greece took to the streets when they heard the news and started shouting “Oxi” in support. It led to Greece’s participation in the world war, but the decision was praised by world leaders. Winston Churchill famously commented, “Hence we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes fight like Greeks.”

This Saturday is an important part of modern Greek

This Saturday is an important part of modern Greek history celebrated annually on October 28th. Oxi Day, also known as “Day of No,” marks the day the Greek prime minister rejected an ultimatum given by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini during World War II. It led to Greece’s involvement in WWII, but people all over the world admired Greece for their bravery.

Celebrate Oxi Day by honoring Greek culture through authentic Greek customs, language, and food. Stop by Greektown this weekend to experience all three and remember the brave folks who fought for their country in WWII.
