I've wanted to go to the Greek Festival for several years but I didn't want to buck the crowds that attend the event. Some of my hiking friends explained you have to go early when they open and you can park right on the street. Plans were made and I met them there. They were correct. I was able to angle park less than 1/2 block from the entrance.
Once inside, we looked at the stalls filled with crafts, food, and all the great looking pastries that the parishioners make and sell at the festival. We meandered around looking at the different food options before making our way to a tent in the back so we could be out of the sun in the 90+ degree weather.
Two of us went to the gyro tent nearby and got that for our food. It was quite good and the Greek fries were good for me. They were quite salty--good for me--but I'm sure they'd bother some people.
While we were talking and trying to be heard, there were a number of singers and the amplifiers were kicked up to 9 on a scale of 1 to 5. The music could be heard blocks away, I'm sure and it made it difficult to have a conversation but it added to the festivals attendees who knew the music and enjoyed it. It wasn't bad--just too loud.
I'll do this every year now that I know the secret!
