The festival takes place the weekend after Labor Day every September, marking the start of the Greek New Year.
FOX 5 spoke with numerous people who were apart of this year’s event. All said the event is a way of welcoming them into Hellenic culture.
“Our goal is to share fellowship, the Greek culture and visit our church to see our beautiful architecture” said Carolyn Koumaras, one of the longtime Cardiff Greek Festival captains. “(It’s to) get a little bit of feel for what it’s like to be in Greece. It’s a little Greek village and it’s a wonderful group of welcoming people.”
