Greek Festivals in California for May 2015

Let’s get those dancing shoes on and head over to any of these Greek Festivals in California in the upcoming weeks of May 2015, for some mouth-watering BBQ and heart-pounding Greek line dancing! If you have never attended a festival this is your chance.

You will witness what the Greek family is all about – Yiayias (grandmothers) in the Greek food stands proudly selling their traditional Greek pastries, Papous (grandfathers) BBQ-ing with the young, teaching the next generation how it is done, and live Greek music for dancing and sing-a-longs.

Don’t miss out because it’s all about the food and love.
