Salt Lake Greek Festival Runs Sept 5-7

All things Greek will be celebrated this weekend at the Greek Orthodox Church in downtown Salt Lake City. This is a fun festival that attracts visitors from around the region. It offers plenty of food, music, dancing, crafts, 10K and 5K runs and other events.

The Festival provided the overview video at right. See the event website for complete information.

Father Matthew of the Salt Lake Greek Orthodox Church provided this welcome:

I am deeply honored to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all visitors attending the ANNUAL GREEK FESTIVAL hosted by the GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH OF GREATER SALT LAKE. For nearly four decades hosting the Greek Festival, our parish faithful have continued to preserve the cherished traditions of our magnificent Greek heritage so that the vibrant spirit of our culture could be shared with you—the wonderful people of Salt Lake City and beyond.

The Utah State Fair will also be underway nearby (Sept 4-14). It is fun to take in both events.
