Yiasou Greek Festival


If you do nothing cultural in the Queen City for the rest of the year, at least make it a point to go to the Yiasou Greek Festival this week. This is a staple of Charlotte's fall calendar, and an absolute favorite and MUST DO for my family. The food is amazing. There ares ride for the kids, Greek dancing, cultural lectures, art and artifact displays, and of course tours of the stunning Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Carve time out of your calendar this week for this event...you won't regret it.

Also, check out Facebook Page starting Tuesday for a GIVEAWAY from Charlotte Warehouse Sale!

Blessings,
