Greek-American Heritage Month

March is Greek-American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the core components of Greek culture and ideals. Also known as Hellenic History Month, the celebration coincides with National Greek Independence Day on March 25. For generations of Greek-Americans, preserving the culture, religion, and language of Greece are focal points in their lives. Each year throughout the month of March, organizations across the U.S. celebrate Greek-Americans’ rich heritage and positive contributions to society, highlighting their deep commitment to philanthropy, their pursuit of excellence and innovation, and their strong family bonds and attachment to the Greek Orthodox church.
