Tremont Greek Fest







I had never been to the Tremont Greek Fest (formerly called the Greek Heritage Festival), so naturally I  brought the most greek person I could find.  The festival turned out to be a lot smaller than I had originally imagined.  It's held in the back of the Church of Annunciation on W. 14th st and Fairfield ave. in Cleveland's trendy Tremont neighborhood.  The abundance of  delicious food was the main event of the fest.  It was set up in the church hall buffet-style. I had the Loucoumades (fried dough balls!!), Spanakopita (quiche with spinach and feta cheese), and the Beef Kabobs.  You could taste the authenticity in the food.

Adding to the greek culture all around, there were stands set up selling handmade jewelry, paintings of greek landscapes, mini-sculptures, and plenty of colorful belly dancing skirts.  The majority of people in attendance were of greek heritage, so you know you're in the right place for all things Greek!.

Though this festival was on the smaller side, it was so worth going to!
