Join the Fun at the 48th Annual Greek Food Festival By Sandy Zimmerman

It’s like taking a tour of Greece without leaving Las Vegas!

 I have been attending the Greek Food Festival for over 20 years since they held the festival in the Sahara Hotel collecting money to build their church. Now their beautiful church has been built and they continue the excitement for everyone to share for the fun of it!

 After touring Greece and the Greek Islands, I really appreciate the culture, cuisine and music at the Greek Food Festival.
