In twenty-seven years of living in Cranston and its environs I never once went to the Greek festival that takes place every September on Oaklawn Avenue. But last night, on a whim, I headed over there and it was WICKED FUN! Spanakopita, grape leaves, dancing in a circle, an orchestra full of cute old men that play for five straight hours, fried dough balls, and cheap wine by the bottle. (Or, if you prefer, there’s also Mythos, the Greek version of Rolling Rock.)
It runs through tomorrow, and according to the people working there it’s happening hurricane or shine.
To get you in the mood, here’s my girlfriend Kalomoira, the Greek (by way of Long Island) singer who was robbed at Eurovision this year:
