Two of the West Side’s busiest communities hit the streets this past weekend for fun and food and to take advantage of the warm weather.
The annual Point Grey Fiesta from June 20 to 22 featured carnival rides and entertainment in Trimble Park and a pancake breakfast and parade down West 10th Avenue on Saturday. Activities included a community stage, a silent auction, a kids and dads race and an ecumenical church service on Sunday.
Greek Day celebrated its 40th anniversary Sunday with its usual legendary combination of food and entertainment. Focused on Broadway between Blenheim and Macdonald, thousands of participants enjoyed dancers, music, a kid’s zone, herb garden demonstration, cooking demonstrations, and shopping for trinkets at the Athenian Agora marketplace. Beverages, souvlaki and a lot of loukoumades were consumed in abundance.
