Monterey Greek Festival
August 30 - 31 & September 1 Labor Day Weekend


Greek Festival 2008:

Saint John Greek Orthodox Church of Salinas welcomes you all to our annual Greek Food Festival on Labor Day Weekend. The location is at the beautiful Custom House Plaza, which is a Monterey State Historic Park next to Fisherman’s Wharf.

COME BE GREEK FOR A DAY and share the Greek traditions of food, drink and dance. Thank you for allowing us to bring a little bit of Greece to your Labor Day Weekend.

Authentic Greek FOOD :) Your mouth begins to water as you walk through the Plaza and smell the aroma of pork, lamb, chicken and various other entrees. The PASTRY booths offer a variety of goodies: BAKLAVA, KOURABIETHES AND LOUKOUMADES

On behalf of the Parish, we thank you for supporting this year's Festival. We hope you enjoy yourselves and look forward to seeing you again. YIA SAS
