Greek Festivals in California for September 2014

Let’s beat the heat and head over to a Greek Festival in September for a hearty and healthy dinner for the family. Among the many dishes you will find and enjoy is the vast array of traditional meals often prepared in the Greek American home.  Try the BBQ souvlaki on a stick with a cool and crunchy Greek salad topped with a sprinkle of Greek Feta cheese. Make sure while you’re there to visit the shopping booths rich in cultural gifts such as icons, gold and silver Greek crosses, and take-home olive oil and spices, found at the  marketplace. Stop and by the dance tent to experience the children’s dance group performances as well as the adult dance lessons. A great way for the entire to become involved in the “Opa” experience!
