Greek Heritage Night at Fenway Park Honours “The Golden Greek” Harry Agganis and Celebrates Hellenism

Over 3,000 Greek Americans filled Boston’s Fenway Park for the 8th annual Greek Heritage Night, hosted by the Alpha Omega Council in partnership with the Boston Red Sox.

The event celebrated Hellenic culture with traditional dance, community tributes, and a shared spirit of pride and philanthropy.

Renewing Your Greek Passport In Greece

Greek passport holders, especially those living abroad, were delighted last year to learn that the validity of Greek passports was extended. As of September 1st, 2022, under Law 4962/2022, Article 87, passports issued to adults and minors over the age of 14 now have a ten-year validity period, without any change to the administrative fees.

The move is part of the Ministry of Citizen Protection’s broader efforts to reduce bureaucracy, streamline processes, and save on administrative costs and personnel time, while still ensuring that Greece meets its international obligations.
