SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church kicked off the 31st Annual Spartanburg Greek Festival Friday.
The festival offers live music and dancing demonstrations, but there is one particular thing about which people are most excited.
“The food of course,” said Siri Ghazal, a vendor. “It’s the best you can have!”
“I mean of course we enjoyed the music, and we enjoyed the dancing and all of the energy that’s here, but mostly we just love to come and eat the food,” said another vendor, Sandy Burn.
“To be honest, the food is absolutely delicious and, this year, I think they outdid themselves,” said Mary Giles, who attended the festival on Friday.
There is a wide variety of options ranging from homemade pastries and warm meals made fresh on the grill to Greek ice cream and coffee.
When we asked festivalgoers what their favorite dish was, the answers were as varied as the choices.
“I always get a box of the assorted pastries, but I love the Greek chicken,” said Burn.
