Castle Country Community Daze and Greek Festival

Two important events will be happening the weekend of July 13 and 14 in Castle Country.

The first is Community Daze which will take place at Sunnyside Park in East Carbon. The event features a Saturday morning breakfast beginning at 7 a.m. in the park, then a parade down the towns Main Street at 9:30 a.m. One of the featured events goes on all day and it is the Bo Huff Car Show, where cars of all ages and kinds are displayed in the park. There is entertainment all day and that evening a rodeo will take place at the rodeo grounds.

The other event that weekend is the Greek Festival that takes place in Price at the Greek Assumption Church. The church is located at 61 South 200 East. Founded in 1916 by Greek miners and shepherds, the Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is one of the oldest Greek Orthodox parishes in America. The church, with its Byzantine architecture, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was the 13th Greek Orthodox Church to be built-in the United States. The festival begins on Friday afternoon and stretches into Saturday night. An annual event for many, many years, it is steeped in Greek tradition with dance and chances to see the church in detail, as well as Greek food that is unsurpassed anywhere in Utah. The lines are often out the door because the food is so good.
