Ethnic Festivals

Annual festivals with an ethnic flavor include Festival Latino held in Hugh MacRae Park, celebrating the music, dance, arts, crafts and food of the Latin-American community.

The Greek Festival is held at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and features the food, traditional dances, music, and wines of the Greek Isles. Homemade Greek pastries are prepared by church members and are sold by the thousands each year.
