BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) \u2014 The Greek Food Festival returns Oct. 9, bringing new dishes and new experiences, including a self-guided tour that gives visitors a chance to explore Greek culture and tradition at their own pace.<\/p>\n
Elaine Theodore Solin, St. George Parish president, said guests can expect an immersive look into Greek culture and tradition through the tour experience.<\/p>\n
“We will have a poster, which will explain and describe each of the saints, and when their day is celebrated as far as the feast day. And there will be a poster on the right side as well.”<\/p>\n
The parish has offered tours in the past, but this year organizers decided to introduce a self-guided option.<\/p>\n
“Just allows for flexibility. We’re not on a schedule. There aren’t tours that you’d have to be at a certain time. We’re just allowing it the whole time that the festival is going on.”<\/p>\n
“It just allows you to just learn more about it, too, by having sections of it that will be informational for you. And we will also have a pamphlet that will be able to hand out as well.”<\/p>\n
Theodore Solin said volunteers have been working on the tour since last year, given the volume of information involved.<\/p>\n
“So, it does take time and trying to get it all together and making sure we have the correct information. It’s been a good year.”<\/p>\n
Guests are asked to leave food and drinks outside before beginning the self-guided tour.<\/p>\n
