“We are expecting a good increase in the crowd. The weather is looking to be very,very, nice. So whenever the weather is nice, the festival does very well, so we expect a pretty good crowd this year as well,” George Polakis, co-chair of the Greek Festival, said. <\/p>\n

When asked what items are the crowd favorites, Polakis said, “Sovlaki on a stick, of course. Our pastries are to die for. Yeah, they’re really good. Baklava, of course, is everybody’s favorite, and we have the twisted kura, the twisted cookies we sell by the dozen and buy as many as you want.”<\/p>\n
