The Minneapolis Greek Festival says its 2021 Taste of Greece event won't go on next month as officials cite unrest in Uptown.

In a message on the festival's website, officials say: "Due to the recent unrest in the Uptown district and the realization that we would be unable to find a successful solution to ensure the safety and security of our Festival guests, volunteers, and grounds, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Festival. We have every intent of holding our Festival next year."

The 2021 festival was scheduled to run from Friday, September 10 through Sunday, September 12. The 2022 schedule is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of September 9.

Hire two dozen people who ride Harleys for security. Then hire members from the 1st MarDiv Association as backup.

Your celebration of Greece will go on without a problem.

But best of all, vote in a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your county. This sheriff will have the legal and armed muscle to ensure your safety.

I think it really is an acculturation conspiracy by big dum dum brands like Nike, NFL, WalMart etc.

They love these schizophrenic retards who worship Jordan shoes and have no clue about their African gods of past, so to speak.

Apparently there was a dark spectre casting its spooky shadow over the Taste of Greece festival.

"Greek culture supplanted by mohammedan ingrates."
So, No Go Zones in Minneapolis? Muslims, blacks, both or all POCs?

Never been there but there's a thing called the twin cities?

Is St. Paul OK?

That’s a shame. Too bad they can’t find another place to have the festival.

groups should cancel all festivals, events, etc....until law and order returns and decent people can come out of their homes.

If all events like the Greek Festival are canceled, they win.
