The Columbus, OH, Greek festival is happening right now! We like it; however, we have several really fantastic Greek restaurants in the city, and DH and I prefer to just go to one of those versus the festval. This one is a jam-packed one. They have roast lamb, incredible lemon potatoes, all the usual wonderful pastries. They have all the Greek cheese for sale, in addition to music and dancing. It's downtown.

Great! Thanks so much for the contribution, Debbie.

I always feel like the festivals are so joyous and fun.

I like them if I can get there before throngs of people arrive.
