Riverside Greek Fest

This was my first time attending the Greek Fest. in Riverside. It was chill and something different. It was a small festival. The food was delish! I will probably be back next year just for that. There were a few vendors and a section for the kids to play. Everything was well organized. Booze was also sold and every 30 min. or so you can take a tour of the Church which is beautiful. There is a charge to enter the festival and you park in another parking structure which is down the street. You get a complementary bus ride to the event. Everyone seemed nice. They had dancers and live Greek music. People were getting their boogie on all night. I was only able to tolerate the music for a while, but everything was nice.

My husband and I went there in 2015. Good foods especially gyros. The church is a beautiful building in Byzantine style. The church tours ran every 20 minutes. They even provided two interpreters (American Sign Language) for deaf visitors ! Greatly appreciated their kindness. Will inform a local deaf community service about next event in October 2017. We will be there for sure !

Riverside Greek Fest is something I look forward to every year! This is the only place where I can find the best Gyros, nothing else compares. All of the food and pastries are absolutely delicious. My kids love the face painting and Kid Zone, my mother in law loves the live music, and I love the samples they pass around so you can taste before you buy. My family and I went to Riv. Mariachi Festival in September and we noticed that the Riverside Greek Fest is so much more organized, better food, and atmosphere by far! Looking forward to next year, already!

Really good gyros & bougatsa. The church is interesting, looks really cool from the outside. Everyone is friendly and ready to feed you. Bring your appetites. Pay the $10 for VIP parking, it's worth it.
