when: Sep 5 – Sep 7 at Various times

the Whaddup:
Flaming cheese! Crazy dancing! Plate throwing! No, it’s not the holidays at home, it’s the L.A. Greek Fest, the biggest block party since the Kings took the cup!
Yes, there will be music, dancing, prizes, shows, an arcade for kids, a marketplace and strolling acts, but let’s face it – it’s all about the food. Cooking demonstrations, spanikopita and salad and of course the highlight (and reason to invest in some ever un-stylish elastic waist pants) – the desserts. Pastry creations like baklava, powdered crescent cookies – and the king of custards, galaktoboureko. (It doesn’t matter if you can’t say it, you can eat it!)
There’s free parking with a free shuttle service. Check the website for details.
Kids under 3 are free.
