2013 Greek Festival Comes to Cumming, GA!
The Cumming Greek Festival celebrates its 9th year of bringing a taste of the beautiful Mediterranean paradise to Cumming and North Georgia!
When? The 9th Annual Cumming Greek Festival starts Friday October 18th at 3 PM and goes to Sunday, October 20th at 6 PM.
Where? Sts Raphael, Nicholas, and Irene Greek Orthodox parish sponsors this wonderful event each year on their beautiful 16 acres right on Bethelview Rd. and this year the Festival is adding a 5K Run/Walk called the Toga Trot to build even more fun and fellowship into this family friendly annual event.
What will be there? All your favorites are back! Home made Greek Pastries (get them early. These sell out fast!). Authentic Greek food like gyros, souvlaki, pastichio, dolmades, and lamb are on the menu along with so much more! There’s even a wonderful baklava sundae that is always a big hit with the kids! Music, dance, and great food make the Cumming Greek Festival THE destination in North Georgia during the third week of October this year.
Great shopping will be available from all our vendors this year as we add merchandise from Greece and local vendors with something for everyone! And back this year is our children’s area featuring a fantastic petting zoo for the kids!
More details: This year’s festival is important to the parish community and to our surrounding community as well. Our parish community is committed to being good and active members of the Forsyth community. Each year a portion of the monies raised goes to local charities in Forsyth County such as The Place and Jessie’s House. Our parish is committed to our local community and helping those in need!
One of the highlights of the Festival is also the informative Church tours that happen every day of the Festival. Our joy in our beautiful “village” created especially for the Festival flow out of the beauties of our ancient and timeless faith. Our Church Tours and lectures add so much to the experience of our festival.
The 9th Annual Cumming Greek Festival promises to be our biggest event ever and something the whole family will enjoy. Make your plans now to attend and enjoy this outstanding community event!
