Fall is traditionally the time for harvest festivals, apple picking, and Oktoberfests, however, the town of Cheyenne puts on such an amazing festival to celebrate Greek food, dance, and culture we just couldn’t keep it to ourselves! Cheyenne, Wyoming has a sizeable Greek population and you can experience the very best of their festive traditions at the Cheyenne Greek Festival held every September.
This beautiful church is the home of Greek culture in Cheyenne and is proud to hold the Cheyenne Greek Festival every year.
The souvlakia is to die for! Pork and chicken are marinated in lemon juice, oregano, and other spices, grilled on skewers, and served on a roll. It's so delicious, your tastebuds will say "Opa!"
Pastitsio is a sort of Greek lasagna, with macaroni, ground beef, and mizithra cheese layered and baked with Bechamel sauce. One serving may not be enough.
Wyoming’s picturesque landscape is perfect for road trips and this state is home to one of the most wondrous rock formations on earth, Devil’s Tower, which was featured in the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
