Opa! It's the Oakland Greek Festival, with food and music May 15-17
"Traditional dancing takes place on all three days and features styles from Crete, Macedonia and elsewhere. If that's not enough, there will be cooking demonstrations, liturgical-choir concerts and tours of the grand cathedral. Paid parking is available on-site; pets are not permitted except for service animals."
The Oakland Greek Festival begins Friday and runs May 15–17 at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Ascension in the Oakland hills. The three-day event features outdoor food booths and an indoor dining hall serving moussaka, lamb shanks, Greek salad, gyros, souvlakis, calamari, loukaniko, spanakopita, stuffed grape leaves, fried doughnuts with honey, saganaki, and pastitsio. A kafeneon offers strong Greek coffee and scratch-made pastries including baklava, sweet-walnut cake, and tsoureki. Music is provided on two stages with performances by the Helios Band and DJ G-Stav, along with strolling musicians. Traditional dancing occurs all three days with styles from Crete and Macedonia. Cooking demonstrations, liturgical-choir concerts, and cathedral tours are also available. Tickets cost $5 for one day or $12 for three days, with children under 12 free, and paid parking is offered on-site.
