Overview: Amazing Greek Meals, Home-Made Pastries, Live Music & Dancing!
You don't have to pronounce the food names-- just eat & enjoy at our 35th annual party!
The four-day celebration offers the public an opportunity to experience the sights, sounds and tastes of Greece. Attractions include authentic Greek music performed by Orion Express, and our popular Hellenic dancers in traditional folk costumes. Greek meals are some of the most embraced, and healthiest, ethnic foods in the USA. Full meals served in our air-conditioned dining hall or under the stars. Two Tavernas offer Greek wine & a choice of American or Greek beer. Large outdoor dining pavilions offer Gyros (pronounced “yeeros”), Souvlaki, amazing Calamari & even Greek coffee. The popular Kids Corner offers kids treats, two large Bounce Houses & face painting.
