New Orleans Greek Fest 2015 Recap in Photos

Once again we passed a good time at Greek Fest in New Orleans.

The weather was perfect. Cool breezes made it enjoyable to spend the entire weekend at the Greek Fest on Bayou St. John in New Orleans. That’s a rare treat in New Orleans in May.

And, once again, my kids loved the opportunity to work in the Greek grocery during the weekend.

Food, faith, family and fun. That’s why we love the New Orleans Greek Fest so much!

A beautiful day on Bayou St. John. Crowds line up for tasty roasted lamb and gyros sandwiches.

Lamb… up close and personal.

Always a fascinating sight: whole lambs roasting on a spit.

Lamb… served by the pound.

The New Orleans Greek Fest sells roast lamb by the pound. The freshness with the seasoning and squeeze of lemon make it one of the best options at the festival.

Honoring the Kalamata olive this year… lots of olives to take home and enjoy. They are the best!

This year the Greek Festival featured the Kalamata Olive. Fresh from Greece, they were the best!

Greeks and non-Greeks alike love the Kalamata olive!

Loukoumades… A Greek beignet for you and me!

Loukoumades, Greek beignets topped with cinnamon and honey. Just one of the many desserts at Greek Fest.

The beauty of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Always uplifting to visit.
