Greek Festival 2009

September 23, 2009 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Tucson Events

It’s saganaki time! OPA!

Every September brings the Greek Festival at the St. Demetrios Hellenic Center, over at 1145 E Ft. Lowell. This year, from September 24th to the 27th, you can enjoy all that is Greek – the food, the beverages, the pastries, the music, the dancing.

As you may have guessed, my favorite is the food.

Admission is $3, kids under 12 get in free, and active duty military get in free as well. On Thursday and Sunday, if you bring a can of food for the Community Food Bank, you’ll get a $1 food line coupon – a bargain, to be sure. Friday and Saturday, there is parking and shuttle service from the Salpointe High School stadium (off of Glenn and Mountain) – I recommend the shuttle, as parking can get crowded closer to the event.

Hours vary by day: Thursday is 5 – 10pm, Friday is 5 – 11 pm, Saturday is 4 – 11pm, and Sunday is noon to 6:30pm.

There’s more information over at www.stdemetriostucson.org.

Go check it out, have some tasty eats, and enjoy the cooler Tucson evenings. Ought to be a lovely festival this year.
