A street on the North Side is closed to traffic all weekend for the annual Lincoln Park Greek Fest. The festival is in its 47th year in Lincoln Park and has some of the best eats around. And, it's all homemade. Nick volunteers his time every year for the event, which raises funds for St. George Greek Orthodox Church on Sheffield. He said this weekend, they'll go through 7,500 pounds of gyro meat.

"We are new to Chicagoland and want to go to all the festivals. This is our third street festival in three weeks," said Kimberly.Every year, the Greek Fest offers food, entertainment for kids, craft vendors and live entertainment. The fun happens all weekend long at the corner of W Diversey Pkwy & N Sheffield Ave.
