2012 Greek Festival, Sioux City IA

Traditional Greek dancing costumes for the women. The men wore black slacks and longsleeved black shirts. Very striking! So sweet when the children were added to the circle of dancers. The black jackets had a beautiful gold braid on the back and sleeve. The white skirts were embroidered with a red design on the front. 

An ensemble of six dancing on a hot summer day. Energy needed! They had it!

The food pavillion behind the church. Wonderful aromas. Great Music too!

The streets were lined with cars, all sizes and makes of people going to the Festival. Food, music, dancing.

 I've worked on some sketches today of the Greek Festival in Sioux City, June 9th, 2012. I could only pop in for about 20 minutes, but was able to watch the dancers and see the food booths. Awesome fun!! This was my 4th year, to go for the dinner, but the first to see the dancers. So sweet, were the children in their traditional costumes. I might post some more drawings including the kids later.
