Greek Food Festival (Tallahassee)
The Greek Food Festival is a festival held in mid-October in Tallahassee, Florida, USA and hosted by the Holy Mother of God Greek Orthodox Church.
Goal
As in many Greek festivals in the U.S., this festival is part of Tallahassee's diversity of cultures. The goal is to give the community a taste of Greek food, Greek music, Greek culture, Greek dancing, and entertainment. At Greek Festivals you will typically find Greek gourmet food, Greek folk music - usually performed by Greek bands, cultural exhibitions including artifacts from Greece and dances performed in costumes of old tradition, and dancing for the public under Greek tunes. It is a community-building event for the parish.
Foods
Traditional Greek foods like spanakopita, tzatziki, baklava, dolmades, tsoureki, kothropita, skordalia, melitzanosalata, melomakarona, kakavia soup, kapamas, and kourabiedes are made.
