Going Greek! Food, Fun, and Family at the 61st Annual Greek Festival

From the door, you are made to feel like family. The 61st Annual Greek Festival is not an event…it is tradition.
Many spoke proudly of having attended the event for many years and not missing one. “What is it that brings you to Greek Fest every year?” I asked everyone. The answer more often than not was “for the food and the community”.

The festival featured a Greek Food Market that only exists when the festival is underway. Jewelry, books, toys, clothes, breads and clothes lined the Bazaar in the rear of the St. Paul’s Greek Orthodox Church, the venue for the festivities. There was even a ‘drive thru’ to ease the demand of authenic Greek faire.

The attendees were serenaded by a Greek music playing duo from Atlanta called: Grecian

One of the co-chairs for the Greek Festival expressed everyone’s interest in having the popular event more than once a year. WJCL was there to report on the beauty of the first of three days of food, fun and dancing.

OPA!
