Come and Enjoy authentic Greek food, entertainment and the fellowship of your friends and neighbors.

Gyros  Gyro Sandwich ("YEAR-os")

Blend of lamb, beef and seasonings seared and stuffed in a pita, topped with diced tomatoes, onions and tsatziki sauce (a savory yogurt sauce with garlic and cucumbers).

 

 

Souvlaki k-bob ( "soo-VLAH-kee")

Choice of tender chicken or pork tenderloin marinated in olive oil and a blend of Greek seasonings, grilled to mouthwatering perfection, and served on a skewer with a slice of pita bread. 

 

 

 

 

Pastitsio ("pas-TEET-see-oh")

Long macaroni layered with seasoned ground beef, topped with a thick cheese "Beschamel" sauce.

 

Spanakopita ("spa-nah-KoH-pita")

Delicate filo dough brushed with butter and layered with a filling of feta cheese, spinach and herbs.

 

 

Lamb Sandwich   The sandwich will include slow roasted lamb marinated overnight in a secret blend of Greek spices, wrapped in a soft pita fold with lots of crumbled feta cheese and a homemade Greek marinara sauce. Made with Love!

And for deserts:

 

One of the most famous Greek desserts, galaktoboureko is a delightful milk and egg custard wrapped in thin sheets of phyllo dough and baked to a golden brown. It's a traditional Greek sweet, soaked in a light lemony syrup after baking. A true special occasion dish.

 

Sourota ("soo-roh-TAH")

A spice, nut and filo-rolled pastry resembling a hollow log, which is lightly dipped in honey syrup.

 

 

 

Baklava ("bahk-lah-VAH")

More than 40 layers of filo dough brushed with butter and layered with nuts and spices, then drizzled with honey syrup.

Ed, what a great festival to highlight and draw all the locals & beyond out to stop by and EAT!  Greek food is a downfall of mine and you showcased it so well..

Oh, looking at that food just made me hungry!  I've never been to that one, many in mass, maybe I'll have to take a drive and check it out.

Good morning, Ed. Food, fun, frivolity. What more could Mom ask for?

The Greeks are a fascinating group.  Very interesting history, and food.  Enjoy the day.  Wish I could join you.

Goodness. All you seem to be missing is the Retsina, but then I always had to drown it with sprite to make it remotely drinkable. Looks like a fun and tasty festival.

Oh you KNOW I am wishing I could be there for that!  Spanakopita is my favorite.  I am so hungry now.  Have fun Ed!

Oompah, Ed.  Although I have to say that I make the best baklava on the planet, LOL.

Ed, gyros are one of my favorites, but it is tough to find a good one around here.

I love all things Greek, and Greek festivals are a lot of fun, as this looks to have been.
