Ya'sou! I learned a new Greek word today. It means hello, but it can be a term for goodbye…read moreaccording to a lady sitting across from me. If I'm wrong, please correct me. This is my first time to attend a Greek festival, and it was a nice and fun event learning Greek culture. It was a slow start, but it became lively after the music started. There were booths for Greek products to be sold, but none captured my interest except the wine. To get a sampling of the wine, you'll need to purchase five tickets for $5.00 at the entrance. I bought 10 tickets and ended up drinking only red wine. I didn't get the name of it, but it was good. Bad Yelper! I didn't get the name of the wine or even take a picture of the bottle. For food, I had the Vegetarian Dinner. It was good and about 3 stars overall for me. It's a bit expensive eating at the event, especially if you get it ala carte. Make sure you have enough cash or have your credit card with you. You pay for your food after it's plated. The best part of the event for me was the entertainment from the band, belly dancer and the group of Greek dancers. Will I attend the event again? Sure! Overall, I'll give my experience 4 stars. It was a fun event!

Normally I'd be "Opa! Opa!" all over this festival but the festival was misadvertised as a Greek…read morefood and wine festival when in reality it should either be called Fotine's Greek Festival or Yuba Sutter Greek Festival. When one thinks of food and wine festival, one thinks of many choices and variety. But Fotine's was the only food vendor there and wine choices was limited and expensive, $5 for about 4-5 oz. Even more disappointing was that the food was ok at best while being expensive too. The $5 entrance fee probably goes to a local non profit organization. I don't mind paying good money for good food but this was a pure miss. I don't doubt Fotine's food at the restaurant is devine based on overall Yelp stars and photos but unfortunately the chicken skewers made for this event was incredibly dry and salty. Chicken on a skewer $5- I was one of the unlucky bunch who had the first batch of food that was likely prepared the day before or at least 6+ hours prior because it was the driest piece of meat, even drier than jerky. So dry in fact, this hungry person couldn't take a second bite. Pretty awful. Spanokopita $3 each- ok, spinach filled phyllo dough. Basic. Dolmas $3 for 3- ok, rice stuffed grape leaves. Basic. Braised lamb $9 for 5 oz- VERY oily and tasted no better than if you threw it in the oven yourself without seasonings. Basic. Entertainment- Mediterranean Soul started playing at 4:35pm. The music started late because there was a wedding ceremony next door. They were great and really created the festival atmosphere. Without them there would be no "festival" Greek Dancers - St Anthony's dancers from Reno, NV. A basic but traditional dance group made up of young folks. Belly dancer - Niiiiiiiice! See my video. She also did a sword balancing on top of her head dance. She was lovely and encouraged men and women to dance with her even though the MC had told the audience beforehand not to. That was strange. Overall this festival was ok for a small city like Yuba and considering there probably is only Fotine's for Greek food. I just wished they didn't rip me off for mostly average food. If it was better than average I wouldn't have minded so much. So here are three stars for what Yelp says means average. If they could bring down the prices and if Fotine herself could sample each of her food before serving next year, I think that should help. If she knew how bad that chicken was I doubt she would serve it.

Organization was very poor overall. Parking was extremely chaotic, and there were no staff members…read moredirecting cars after the event. Once it ended, it took us nearly two hours just to get out of the parking area because there were no flaggers managing traffic flow. They also advertised food trucks, but there were nowhere near enough to accommodate the crowd of around 6,000 people. On top of that, many people were walking directly over picnic blankets on the grass instead of using the designated walkways, which made the experience even more frustrating.

We've experienced the lights festival near Palm Desert so this review is compared to that memorable…read moreexperience. These are always heart warming and a chance to either just experience the beauty of the the sky lit up with lanterns or to let go, forgive, reset, or whatever else your heart desires for internalized fulfillment. Now with that being said, in comparison to our prior experience near Palm Desert in SoCal... Traffic to get in and out is tight and through plenty of turns so have those barf bags ready if your stomach is weak. Took a very long time getting in as it's practically a 2-laner, one for in and one for out. NO CELL RECEPTION!! So either plan ahead on where and when to meet if traveling separately or be prepared not to send smoke signals to find one another. This is also a nice thing as it forces you to disconnect and be one with your gorgeous surroundings nature. It's beautiful up there - but that's about it. Food selections is narrow. And one of the poorly designed setups for the lights festival here, if more annoying than the traffic, was that the fire poles were setup too close to each other that plenty of parties outside of the arranged fires to light your lanterns had to wait or had trouble getting their lanterns lit to float with the rest. Results? A subpar continuous lift of lanterns instead of one gigantic breathless view that is marketed so heavily in social media. Mediocre execution for the actual lighting of the lanterns, no cell service, no staff walking around to help you light lanterns if you didn't have any nearby accessible tiki lamp, and limited food trucks with long waits and lines. The good? Surrounding nature and the beautiful scenery. Once you get settled, it's so serene and nice. Omit the fact that it rained and was cold - that's nature, cold was to be expected since we're way up high. Bring your tent, chairs, or whatever you have to shield from the sun and relax comfortably. Highly recommended if you've never experienced a Lights Festival. Otherwise, if you're looking for the breathtaking sights you see all over social media - this organizational team and location falls short of it. We'll try the Vegas experience next time and hope it lives up to the memorable experience near Palm Desert. Best TIP? Don't rush out after releasing your lanterns. Hang out, spend time with family, enjoy the serene nature being up high and surrounded by nature with the night skies. Relax and let the traffic die down. Leave much later so you're not annoyed by everyone trying to return home ASAP!

This was my first visit to this area's pow wow but I've been to many pow wows throughout…read moreCalifornia. Entrance and parking was free (thank you!) but the parking lot was a complete dust bowl! My car was covered in inch thick red/yellow dust afterwards that inevitably got tracked inside the car too. The parking lot is not paved nor does it have grass, just dust! They had ample amount of quality, handcrafted art and craft work vendors selling a few things I had never seen before. Needless to say I spent more money than I normally do on knick knacks. Although there was only one fry bread vendor who sold very expensive fry bread at $6 for one or $8 for Indian taco (fry bread topped with beans, cheese, tomatoes), it was the BEST fry bread I ever had. It's likely from the fact it was being hand rolled on the spot before frying. Seeing a little old lady do this, I'm sure, makes it that much more authentic and convinced me to try it despite the cost. They had one other food vendor selling BBQ items. I didn't try as I figured I can always get that anywhere. I was disappointed to see there weren't that many dancers or contestants. It was absolutely fantastic weather on the Sunday I went and would have been great for those competing in heavy leather and bead clad costumes. There appeared to be less than 20 whereas I normally see 50+ elsewhere. Hopefully next year they can encourage more dancers to participate. Ps the MC had a great voice and did a great job.

Got lucky finding street parking a block away only bc we were there super early. They of course had portapotties available. This reminded us of flea markets which we had frequented ourselves. Remember this is a small town. So don't have too high of expectations! We didn't. It was a good time to get our morning steps in! We did experience peach ice cream at the local Candybox store. There was a bakery tent that had a long long line! Their pastry peach goodies looked phenomenal & mouthwatering!!! Lots of vendors had Lafufus or Labubus & that type of merchandise maybe bc it's the latest craze. There were other unique items too that you have to see for yourself. We were surprised & amazed! Live band entertainment came later but we had other plans. I'm sure they entertained the audience well. My wife even watched the peach pie eating contest online! It was crazy funny!!! Woohoo!

Ever since the early-2000's, the "Marysville Peach Festival" is held annually every third week of…read moreJuly to honor the residents of Yuba & Sutter Counties. Located directly in the heart of downtown Marysville in the historic shopping district, this outdoor festival honors and commemorates everything peach-related including peach pies, peach cobblers, peach lemonade, peach milkshakes, and of course peaches all by themselves. Since this event was held from Friday 7/18/2025 to Saturday 7/19/2025, I came here on that Saturday at around 5:30pm. Best of all, they offer free parking everywhere around the festival site. Keep in mind that this festival is relatively small and only takes up a few blocks of downtown Marysville. The entire proximity is from 2nd-9th St's (north to south) and from B St to E St (east to west). However, there is a lot to see (and eat) as there are roughly 150 vendors and sponsors that participate in this event. Everything from face painting to a pie-eating contest to live music (with two separate stages) and lots of seating to enjoy entertainment. Finally, they also offer a ton of non-peach food trucks (including lobster rolls, BBQ, and much more). Additionally, they had a small area where children could take pony rides (for $10). And if in the event you need to go, there was a respectable amount of portable toilets available. The main reason why I came here was the comfortable mild weather. Usually during this stretch of July can see temperatures hover around the century mark. Fortunately, it was in the upper 80's during my visit and perfect conditions for walking the streets without being drenched in sweat. During my visit, I indulged in an iced cold peach lemonade, enjoyed a peach cobbler w/ice cream, and purchased a few several peaches to enjoy the following day. When it comes down to it, this event is good (but not over-the-top amazing). Many of the food options are overpriced while the peaches are much more than what you'd spend at a farmers market. But if you want that small town feel, this place will have you covered. Things move much slower with a lot of that small town character and charm. With that said and done, I am giving the "Marysville Peach Festival" a respectable and above average four-star rating.
