Greek Fest (May 22-24) is one of the most delicious, and fun heritage festivals of the year, and this is why you should you go!

1. The Food (duh!)

Gryos, and Dolma, and Baklava oh my! Not only will you be able to eat your Greek favorites but there are also a lot of  delicious specialties at the fest that can be hard to find the rest of the year. 

Also, there is a tasty Greek pastry shop. 

2. The Wine

Have you had Greek wine? It's amazing. 

3. The Culture

Soak up some culture. It is one of the oldest and most culturally and technologically advanced Western civilizations. It is the civilization that brought us Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato. And drastically changed the way we viewed geometry, astrology, and medicine. 

And the festival is held on the grounds of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Which is a local landmark. 

4. For Fun

There will be entertainment for all ages. Including Hellenic dancers, cooking demonstrations, Cathedral tours, and a Mount Olympus Climbing wall. And don't forget about Toga Sunday where anyone wearing a toga gets in free.
