Michalis Borodimos, who experienced the Patras Carnival during his childhood and teenage years, shared:

“I am very happy to create these festive nights. Carnival celebrations are something I deeply love, and I want to share them with the Chattanooga community. I am confident that Tennessee will embrace this kind of entertainment, just as they have already embraced Opa Greek Restaurants and Greek culture in general. Their love for Greece is evident, as they have incorporated Greek elements like a replica of the Parthenon and the Statue of Athena.”

“From here, from Chattanooga, Opa Greek Restaurants first began. This city is the starting point for every new Opa Greek Restaurants event. Chattanooga and its people will always have the first place in my heart.”
