Opa! The Original Greek Festival kicks off in Montrose

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The Original Greek Festival kicks off tonight in Houston's Montrose neighborhood.

Event organizers estimate over the next 4 days more than 40,000 people will make it out to the festival. This year, they promise expanded festival grounds and a third entrance gate to help reduce lines.

Admission for adults is $5. Children under 12 are free. There's free admission for everyone during lunch Friday from 11am to 3pm.
