Fun art festival this weekend at the Stanley which is still a work in progress but the location…read moreworked well for the Arts Festival. Ride your bike in or parking was free, close in and plentiful. Perfect size to see it all in about an hour or so. Artist booths set up inside and out. They really had some creative and talented artists and we enjoyed the afternoon here. Most of the artists were very friendly, welcoming and happy to share their work. A handful were too busy on their cell phones to notice people trying to ask questions and buy pieces. That's too bad when they took the time and effort to be here but maybe don't have the skill set to "sale". About 5-6 food trucks also set up near tables and a stage with live music. It would have been better if the stage faced a grassy area so people would feel compelled to bring chairs, blankets and hang out but that was not the case. Great day and I look forward to this next year.

I LOVE the GREEK FESTIVAL!! Every year I look forward to it! This year was my 3rd year and it was…read moretheir 60th anniversary! I caught the festival 2 days in a row this year on both Saturday and then I went back for more on Sunday! I'm so glad I went back on Sunday because I discovered that the whole inside area was NOT just overflow seating, but that there was a dining area and like a buffet-type of area and wine bar area and the kitchen demo area was in there too and another performance area AND a beautiful prayer book store!!!! WHAT!? I had no idea that was all in there so I hope they have that next year - I will explore those areas more! Saturday, I got my favorite Saganaki - flaming cheese!!! and I got the greek chicken dinner that came with greek potatoes and a deliciously light and fresh greek salad! Also got a whipped greek coffee at the coffee bar! New this year: I did get to the upper level retail vendor area and new GROCERY area which was SO delightful and intriguing. I had to look up what some of the items were but it was all very exciting. They had different rusks which - I don't know what those are but I will look into it and hopefully get some next year. They also had a lot of cheeses in the refrigerator and dairy products like lebnah and then a sour cherry drink??!! So next year I will be prepared and try some of those things and bring them home! I was looking for the Moussaka which I tried for the first time last year but I was told that they didn't have it and that they do a skip year or something and that this year they had pastitio instead, so I tried that and it was similar with the meat filling, béchamel and cinnamon and was like a casserole and it was very delicious! Also got another round of the flaming saganaki cheese which is SO good with the greek salad! I love all the social media they did this year for the event on instagram and I had even seen many clips of them on local news on YouTube leading up to the event! Very cool! So glad I got to check out 2 days of this festive community event!

6/7/26-My first time attending this event and overall it was over priced and poor to bad food and…read morejust not worth the time. Also not ADA friendly. The elevator had apparently broke on Friday and had trapped someone inside according to one worker. Long lines and high prices for the foods and drinks. Little shade and few places to sit. Then one of the vendors, 2 Greeks, were stealing money from people. They didn't bring change, so if you were paying cash, they would just keep the change. So, very crooked vendors. If you go to this once in a lifetime is enough, but I would recommend just not going. Parking was also not good. We tried to get there early, but they still had church going, so what was supposed to be the handicap lot was full of non-handicap cars. They only good thing I can say about the event was the female head of security was nice.
