Join us for the 8th Annual Greek Food Faire, May 16, 17 and 18, in downtown Santa Cruz!. This three-day event features a huge array of authentic and healthy Greek food and desserts, including crowd pleasers like moussaka, spanakopita, and grilled marinated lamb souvlaki with locally grown vegetable side dishes (when available).
