GreekFest ~ St. George Greek Orthodox Church
The St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Knoxville celebrated their 29th Annual GreekFest this weekend, and we were there amongst all the fun just taking in all the sights, scents, and joyfulness. We ate lots of Greek foods . . . mostly pastries and breads. We bought our daughter a scarf/wrap covered in coins, watched lots of Greek dancing, listened to music that would make anyone want to dance, had our son's face painted, and went on a church tour. It was a wonderful afternoon and evening! We are already planning a return visit next year. As our son asked earlier this evening, "Are we coming back next year?" Our answer . . .Yes!

"With gratitude and great pleasure I would like to pass the award to these photography bloggers:
Hope of Knoxville Daily Photo. Hope can squeeze images out of her Nikon Coolpix that will astonish you. The photographs of her kids capture the essence of childhood and a mother's love with the same poignancy and joy of the paintings of Mary Cassatt..."

Oooh, sounds like fun! We have some Greek restaurants in Manila, but I don't think we have enough Greeks to have a real Greek festival. Those young men look very cute — our girls would probably swoon over them. ;)
Opa! Did they let the audience come out and dance? I used to go with a folk dance group.
I opted for Hola, so it looks like we've got our festivals covered!
Looks like fun! I wanted to attend, but my weekend got booked with other obligations. Maybe next year...
I would had enjoyed being there...
Again, I love your photos of the Children. Great Photos!
They look so beautiful!!
I must try some greek food!
Great picture! Love the colors in this!
My old neighbors back in Ca were Greek and they made the best food! I sure miss them!
they are such good looking all-American boys! It's great that they keep the tradition going. My mom is Serbian Orthodox & we dance the line type dance like the Greeks - it's so much fun. Terrific twilight photo too.
Saw your comment on Randy's Santa Fe blog and thought I'd pay a visit. It's been fun surfing your posts. This one in particular appeals to me, and the line of dancers are PERFECT for yesterday's October theme day! Nice job of describing the festival.
