This year is the 200th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence against the Ottomans in 1821, which eventually led to the formation of the modern Greek state.
In past years, thousands would gather in #GreektownChicago for the annual parade on Greek Independence Day, March 25. The COVID-19 pandemic may have canceled our parade… but it hasn’t dimmed our spirits!
We are planning a month-long commemoration next month, kicking off with our new
Greektown Restaurant Week, March 1-7, 2021. Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we celebrate our Greek heritage. Opa!

In Greek mythology, the Elysian Fields house the souls of the heroic and the virtuous. We love these shots of #GreektownChicago’s Elysian Field. How cool is it to see Greek architecture against our city’s landscape?

Today we remember the "Godfather of Greektown," Bobby Vitogiannis.

Bobby is the heart of our neighborhood's rich history. He was a butcher alongside his father, who was part-owner of the beloved Panellion Meat Market on Halsted and Jackson, and he owned the famous Kallisto nightclub best known for endless lines down the block.

In Greek when someone passes, we say “αιώνια η μνήμη” (ay-OH-nee-ah ee MNEE-mee) which means “memory eternal." Bobby's fingerprints throughout #GreektownChicago prove his legacy is indelible.

In 1965, a time when many of the nation’s clergy stood silent, #GreekOrthodox Archbishop lakovos marched hand-in-hand with #MLK. This #MLKDay2021, we remember Dr. King’s poignant words, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” #mlkquotes
