The traditional Greek expression of joy was heard throughout the weekend as the Annual San Luis Obispo Greek Festival took over the Broad intersection and a portion of Mission Plaza June 3-4. Sponsored by local St. Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox Church, the festival celebrates many aspects of traditional culture, especially Greek food along with dance programs for adults and traditional costume modeling from different regions of Greece. If guests had their fill of a “real” Gyro with Tzatziki sauce, or maybe Moussaka casserole, then a little Baklava couldn’t hurt.
It must have been hard to dance the Syrto after sampling all of the homemade dishes and pastries from all over the Greek Mediterranean but the locals strolling through the Plaza did their best despite the heat.
