Salt Lake Greek Festival 2013

The weekend after Labor Day, the Greek Orthodox Church of Greater Salt Lake throws a big festival: the Salt Lake Greek Festival. It's a four-day event that starts on Thursday afternoon and goes until Sunday night, and it's monstrous. My husband and I went this afternoon, which was a great time to have gone; the food lines were quick (in years past we've waited up to an hour or more).

We had some great food, trying much of the food I know little old Greek church ladies had spent a lot of time preparing. We even saw a whole lamb cooking on a spit, which I wish I had gotten a picture of.

My husband had a Greek salad, gyro, calamari,
pork souvlaki, and Keftedes (baked meatballs) 

I got a lot of the same things my husband did (although I
got spanikopita instead of salad, and didn't get an order of
calamari), but we both got an extra gyro.

I also ordered Loukaniko, pork sausage flavored with
fennel seeds and orage peel).

And aside from a tray of pastries we took home with us,
we had fresh Loukourmades, fried balls of dough coated
with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon.
