Cumming Greek Festival 2014
Cumming Greek Festival Returns for OUR 10th Anniversary!
Press Release
Cumming, GA. – The Cumming Greek Festival celebrates its 9th year of bringing a taste of the beautiful Mediterranean paradise to Cumming and North Georgia!
The 10th Annual Cumming Greek Festival starts Friday October 17th at 3 PM and goes to Sunday, October 19th at 6 PM.
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 celebrates 10 years as one of the largest volunteer festivals in Forsyth County with fun and fellowship for this family friendly annual event.
And this year, because of all the development on Bethelview Rd and the tremendous growth of our Festival, we are initiating a parking plan that will have satellite parking facilities and Air Conditioned buses to bring you and your family to the Festival grounds. Our MAIN off site parking will be on the Kelly Mill Entrance to West Forsyth High School! We’ll have security there and buses will run every five (5) minutes!
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!
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!
One of the highlights of the Festival is also the informative Church tour that happens 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 10th 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! OPA!
