That sounds very interesting to go to that festival with authentic food and traditions of the Greeks. I've been to a Greek restaurant in Clearwater and I have to say that their food is really good.

I love St. Augustine !!! It's so pretty and cool. The landmarks are actually interesting too! My favorite part though, was one of the streets. It's on Americas list of prettiest streets too! Theres a canopy of pretty oak trees on top of it. The lighthouse view is amazing and its actually a haunted lighthouse. Cool Place.

That is so cool celebrating traditions from years ago. I've been there and there are so any things to do. This is interesting having hearing, eating, and dancing Greek things from another culture.

I love St Augustine and wish to go there again. I got to go to the fort and also got to go to the alligator farm. :-)

This sounds really fun, and everything. But i would never want to go to St. Augustine, i've heard by so many people that its haunted. And knowing me, i'm the biggest baby ever. My mom has been there, and so has my dad thats where they got married!

This Greek festival, I have been to before, and it is very fun. But, If you cannot deal with no hamburgers or hot dogs, do not come, because this is the REAL deal. Not some cruddy fast-food fair.

I am Greek! I love to go to the festivals. The one festival that I usually go to is the Marietta Greek Festival. It is in Marietta and is the weekend after Mother’s Day. This year it is the 21st annual festival. All Greek festivals have things in common, but when I went to St. Augustine I visited the church. They had a bigger church there, but the festival was pretty much the same. Greek festivals have lamb, pork, and baklava sundaes. Greek festivals are very fun and the kid’s area is fun too. I would recommend anyone to who loves Greek food and festive things.
