Baklava, grape leaves, and more are being shared at the annual Greek Festival in South Anchorage.
For the past 18 years, the Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church has been celebrating the rich Mediterranean culture at its church location on 2800 O'Malley Road.
"You do not have to be Greek, everyone's welcome to come," said Kimberly Copadis, co-chair of Greek Festival. "We just want people to come and get a taste of the Greek culture."
Festival parking and admission is free and all the proceeds will go towards to building the new church, which broke ground in 2009.
The festival began Friday evening and will continue throughout the weekend.
The Greek Festival takes place from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, Aug.17 and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18.
