I second that. It is one of Houston's better ethnic festivals.

Why do they charge money just to get in???? Puts me off going. Other than that I'd be in there spending a lot of $$$$$.

5 bucks for what they have to offer is a bargain in my book.

Yeah, five bucks isn't too bad. Put the words "Greek" and "festival" together and you are guaranteed a good time.

I realise it's standard procedure but I don't see the logic in paying an entry fee to get in to a place where I'm essentially just going to spend more money on food and drink. Last time I looked most restaurants didn't charge an entry fee. The greek festival and other charging festivals have/will lose my $200 day per person usual spend. Their loss not mine.
