Lively festival on the Belvedere will please palate and impart knowledge
The annual Louisville Greek Festival at the local Assumption Greek Orthodox Church will be presenting such a lively and palate-pleasing event, which happens to be this weekend on the Belvedere at Fifth and Main streets.
The hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. today and tomorrow and noon to 7 p.m. Sunday.
The family festival features something for everyone, including children’s games, a Greek gift shop and grocery store, colorfully costumed dancers and live music by Lee Nourtsis and his Neo Ehos Band from Cincinnati.
The culinary aspect of the festival is an awesome undertaking by church members who prepare three days of sumptuous fare. The menu includes baked chicken, pastitsio, moussaka, dolmathes, roasted lamb shanks, baklava, gyros sandwiches, souvlaki, Greek salad and spanakopita.
The tent-covered festival is a rain or shine affair. Admission is $2 (free for ages 8 and younger). Parking is free tomorrow and Sunday in the city garage on Sixth Street, just south of Main. Look for a big sign posted at the garage.
