The Saint Barbara, California Greek Orthodox Church had a rollicking good time for everyone as it celebrated its 46th Greek Festival, drawing Greeks, Philhellenes, and people looking to dive into Greek food and culture, which abounded there, according to AP.
Also celebrated, noted Bonnie Carroll for EdHat, were the volunteers who greeted people at the church bookstore book and the bouzouki music that filled the air and made the event even more festive, along with Greek dancers in authentic costumes performing traditional dances.
The weather was warm and the food was hot, the menu including souvlaki, quarter chicken, moussaka, spanakopita, tiropita, loukaniko, horiatiki Greek salad, stuffed grape leaves dolmades, manestra, tzatziki sauce, Kalamata olives, feta, and gooey sweet baklava for dessert, as well as a bevy of other Greek pastry delicacies.
