Here are some pick, white and a purple water lily growing over in McCoy Pavilion at Ala Moana Beach Park. Somehow almost reminds me of the Frogger video game when you jump across the lily pads. Looking forward to the start of a nice long 3 day weekend.

Perhaps one of the most looked forward to item at the Greek Festival is the Pastry Booth filled with homemade pastries including this bento box of Baklava. Always in high demand lines form at the Pastry Booth from start to finish much like the malasada booth at the Punahou carnival. Along with Baklava they also serve kourambiedes, melomakarona and much more. The dough is rolled the old-fashioned way with broomstick rolling pins and honey, nuts, fruits and creams mixed with love. Secret recipes have been passed down generation to generation giving the Greek festival product a special unique quality.

Entertainment was abound at the Greek Festival . Here is a photo of the Nisiotes Dancers who performed a variety of Greek fold dancing in colorful regional costumes. Accompanying them was the Nisioupoula “Little islander” Dance Group. Also performing at the festival was Fotia a Greek band from California and the renowned guitarist Sotos Kappas.
