The annual Zoodohos Peghe Greek Festival had Bronxites cheering ‘opa’ from Wednesday, June 15 to Sunday, June 19 as the Pelham community celebrated Greek food, music, dancing and culture. The Greek American Institute’s parking lot was filled to the brim with carnival rides, games and food vendors for everyone, young and old, to enjoy.
Siblings Emanuel and Maria Presals embarked on a fun ferris wheel ride.
