For almost 50 years now, on the weekend following Memorial Day, this quiet Rose Garden area neighborhood transforms into a raucous celebration of all things Greek. The San Jose Greek Festival is fun for the whole family and features live music, award-winning dance groups and some of the most authentic festival food around. Spanakopita, tiropita, moussaka and loukoumades are just a few of the hard-to-pronounce but easy-to-eat items that can be found here. So come be Greek for the day, and watch out for those flying plates. Opa!
