Phoenix Greek Festival
Get a taste of Greece without the price of a plane ticket at this 51st annual bash. Along with Athenian chicken, spanakopita and baklava, you can try traditional Greek spirits, such as ouzo, an anise-flavored liqueur. Buy chamomile, olive oil and other imported Greek goodies at the marketplace, and learn about the Greek Orthodox faith on a free tour of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral, one of Arizona’s oldest and largest Greek churches. A portion of the proceeds benefits Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
