The 2012 Cumming Greek Festival
It’s time for another Cumming Greek Festival – full of fabulous food, dancing, entertainment, music and more!
If you’re of Greek heritage then you’ve probably been and already know about what a great event it is. If you’re not & you’ve never been before, it’s a really neat event to visit.
Of course you won’t be disappointment by the delicious food! And both adults and kids will enjoy some of the entertainment & music. And don’t forget to check out all the shopping & vendors – authentic Greek items, clothing, ceramics, copper, books, icons, jewelry, gold, and handcrafted items.
The Cumming Greek festival is Forsyth county’s largest ethnic event. It offers the community a unique opportunity to experience the rich Greek culture. The continuous live Greek music and traditional bouzouki will fill you while you enjoy energetic live traditional Greek dance performances.

Other Fees: Food prices range – hotdogs are $3, fries are $3, Meat on a stick was $4, Gryo Sandwich was $6. I would so most meals are going to cost around $6 to $9 and then extra for a drink. Lots of desserts too – most of those were about $3. We tried three different treats for $6 total.
Kids Activities – There are two inflatables – one bounce house and one slide. For $2 the kids can get their hands stamped and jump to their heart’s content. When it gets crowded it can become a little crazy, and honestly it just depends on who’s working as far as how that’s managed. At first it was a little crazy & unruly and then some additional help came while our kids were playing and made them all take turns & line up.
There is also face painting & crazy hair (I believe those were $5 each) and an artist that will draw you for $15 for one person.
Music, Dancing & Entertainment - A variety of acts will perform & play throughout the day.
