With such a wide variety of tasty Greek treats, thereBԪַs certainly something for everyone to try. And to accompany, there will be live performances from more than 20 groups, some of whom are from as far away as Athens.

But donBԪַt worry if you havenBԪַt had a chance to visit yet because the event continues Sunday (Aug. 28) from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. It also continues next weekend, Sept. 2 to 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
