Salt Lake Greek Festival Runs September 8-11

The annual Salt Lake Greek Festival will be held at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 279 South 300 West, in downtown Salt Lake City. It will run Sept 8-11.

It is a celebration of all all things Greek, and many activities focus around food, music and dance. The festival also includes a 5K run and 1K run/walk. See the festival website for a schedule and other details.

This year, food from the festival will be available for delivery. KSL TV has this report describing the festival and the food delivery option. Below are excerpts.

The authentic food and pastries always draw big crowds, but long lines have made it harder for businesspeople to attend during lunch breaks.

That is, until this year. The festival will be including some downtown deliveries.

"Friday during the lunch hour we are offering a delivery service," she said. "You can call in or fax in and order or email it. It's all online."

While you won't get the exact same variety as what's being served at the tents, you will get a choice of a gyro plate, souvlaki plate or a combo plate.

The souvlaki and gyro plates are $10 and the combo plate is $13.
