Opa! A Celebration of Greece Coming this May to Disneyland Resort

Between the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival and its newly expanded Flower & Garden Festival, it seems like Walt Disney World gets to have all the fun where cultural celebrations are concerned. But last week the Disneyland Resort announced that it would soon be getting some international excitement of its own.

For the weekend of May 25-27 (10am to 6pm daily), Opa! A Celebration of Greece will bring authentic Greek music, dance, art, food, history, and more to both parks at the Disneyland Resort. Activities will take place in both “it’s a small world” Mall in Disneyland park and Paradise Gardens in Disney California Adventure park.

At “it’s a small world” Mall, you can expect to enjoy:

• Olympics training with Hercules (sorry, Meg and Phil are not schedule to appear)
• Atmosphere entertainment by “The Citizens of Greece”
• Live performances from Greek musicians and dancers
• Special Greek food offerings

Over at DCA’s Paradise Garden, you’ll find:

• Greek wine tastings
• Live performances from Greek musicians
• Kalamatianó line dances
• Special Greek food offerings
• Atmosphere entertainment by “The Citizens of Greece”

On May 26 only, Greek celebrity Chef Argiro Barbarigou and Greek winemaker Christina Boutari will host a special dinner at the Golden Vine Winery in Disney California Adventure park. (Reservations and tickets available online starting March 25).
