Will Constantine Maroulis be there?

Who is providing the food? I went about two years about and found the traditional greek foods (exception: baked goods) to be mediocre at best.

I quit going a few years ago. It was fun, but the food was way over-priced

I have been going since I was a young girl. I can’t wait!!! Food is great, people are so friendly.

If you like mediocre, lukewarm Greek food then this is the place for you!

Nothing beats hand-made baklava! And there are tons of it at the Festival! Personally, I truly enjoy their pastries at any cost!

Is the parking offsite with the bus shuttle like last year? Worked out well. Could not find info about parking on the Festival website.
