If you love Greek food, been to Greece, would like to go to Greece or are Greek, the Greek…read moreFestival is like a mini vacation to Greece without the horribly long and expensive flight lol! It is a once a year opportunity to eat, every day for 4 days, from a variety of traditional delicious Greek food ( lamb shank, Spanakopita,Moussaka, Pastitsio, Greek Salad, Shish Kabob, Gyros, Dolamathes etc) and all the sweets & pastries. Pricing is low to moderate depending on what you get. A lamb shank platter the most expensive entree can be approx $16. Be sure and read the free Festival Album it has great tips for those learning about Greece and the cuisine peppered through out. A Live band The Golden Flame does a set noon-2 then after 5 daily, they do a great job of filling the Convention Center with toe tappin Greek Music. It is so much fun to watch all the ages get up and dance from babies to old ppl! You don't even have to know what you are doing, just grab a hand and dance along:) Live Greek Folk Dancers, the Demetrakia from St Demetrios in Baltimore expertly perform in traditional costumes nightly. There are a bunch of unique vendors of jewelry, art, imports etc for cool stuff you can't find in regular stores. Of course one of my fav booths is the Ladies Philoptochos Bakery Booth. I LOVE the cookies, any and all of them! They freeze well too;) A must are the Loukoumathes (fried honey balls), made to order drenched in honey syrup and topped with your choice of either cinnamon, powered sugar and/or crushed walnuts, they are so delish you will want the Papous Carryout size (it a great value). Only downside(hence 4 stars) is at night it can be very busy (lines), so will i go before 6pm to beat the crowds. It is a great facility all indoors air-conditioned, nice restrooms, family atmosphere, free and easy parking, free admission opens at noon daily, handicap/stroller accessible. They also have 2 raffles one to win $1000 the really cool raffle, that my friend won a couple years ago, sells ONLY 100 tickets @ $100 each to win $5000! I usually go in with friends on multiple tickets for even better odds;) Good luck! Kali Teehee!

It was FREE and plenty of parking available on the street, although if you want to park in their 'dirt parking lot', then it's $10 per car. Yikes! Fortunately, we were able to find free parking, woot! :) This art festival is pretty big, reminds me of those summer street fairs in New York or Huntington Beach (by the pier). It wasn't that crowded around noon on Saturday; however, it got more packed as the day passed by. There were at least 3-4 food trucks, and banks were there handing out freebies to the public. So fascinating to look at artwork and check out local art pieces / see the artists. The festival was held right near the local library and park, so location was great! Sunny weather helped too. :) If you have a good 1 hour to spare, then check this place out! It's a fun way to spend your weekend in Malibu.

It's ok here. 10 dollars to park that sucks. The stuff there was decent. Bit expensive. Dick van…read moredyke is here that's cool. His grandsons artwork is actually pretty good.

We stopped in for peaches over the summer but left with nothing. There were lots of options, but…read moremany of the things we could find at a grocery store with better prices and potentially better quality. The peaches were hard which was a disapointment. We were hoping to find peaches that were more ripe because they were local. We found about two peaches that were a little softer but they had no smell. I was suprised that there were so few local items. If I wanted goods made in PA, I'd go to PA. I asked which produce items were local and it sounded like almost none of them. You can get baked goods, produce, bottled and jarred items like pickes, candy, meats, and "homemade" deli items. There were plants for purchase, some outdoor furniture, and a cafe. The best part of the place ended up being the animals. We fed some goats and took a phot with the large bull statue. I think this would be a great place to bring kids to see the animals. I don't think it's worth the drive if you're staying on the coast because it's mostly grocery store quality produce and items you can get for less elsewhere. But, if you need something to do with kids and you're close by, it's worth a stop.

On this visit, I tried the Blueberry Banana Smoothie and the Turkey Sandwich at their cafe. The smoothie was incredible, vibrant purple, perfectly thick. The turkey sandwich was equally impressive; the bread was toasted to a perfect golden brown, and the balance of the melted cheese and sauce made for a great brunch. Beyond the cafe, it's the perfect spot to grab some fresh fruits and baked goods for home. Definitely a local gem!

Because only one other person was there, we were able to easily get a place to park. I can imagine this being a very popular place to come and watch the sun disappear, particularly when the weather is warmer and you can enjoy the moment instead of try to stay warm. There's a gazebo where you can sit. There's also a small pier but I wasn't sure if that was part of the park or private property so we didn't investigate.
