WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) --- With Juneteenth celebrations and the first weekend of Summerfest, there's no shortage of fun happening this weekend all across the Milwaukee area. 

You can also add Greek Fest to the list, which is returning this weekend to a new location -- the Waukesha County Expo Center. 

Now in its 61st year, attendees will be able to enjoy some authentic Greek food while listening to live music in a family-friendly atmosphere. 

We spoke to an event organizer about some of the delicious offerings this year. 

"Come hungry, you're going to be able to take in all of your favorite Greek favorites," said Greg PapaChristou, Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church. "Of course we have our famous spit-roasted chicken over an open flame, rotisserie lamb, everybody loves the gyros shaved off of a cone, and we have the flaming cheese-the saganaki- we also have, new this year, a gyro brat, an homage to our southeast Wisconsin friends."

Greek Fest will run until 10 p.m. June 19-20, and until 7 p.m. Sunday, June 21.
