The Lehigh Valley IronPigs host their Bacon and Brews Bash on Saturday; the Greek Food Fest in Wilson Borough runs now through Sunday.
1.) Get your Greek on
Clik here to view.
Moussaka. Pastitsio. Galaktoboureko. Kourambiedes.
No, our keyboard buttons aren't stuck.
Those are just a few of the delectable delights that will be served up this weekend as Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Wilson Borough celebrates its Greek Food Fest.
The festival -- a showcase of Greek food, culture and tradition -- will be held at the church at 20th Street and Hay Terrace. Folks of all stripes are invited to participate and support the Easton-area church.
The festival actually got underway Thursday and continues 4 to 10 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Besides the food, there are drinks and Greek dancing scheduled each night. You can eat there or get take-out.
Orders can be placed ahead of time for pickup by calling 610-253-8147.
What's that? You don't eat meat? No problem.
They will make you lamb.
Opa!
2.) Bacon and brews
The Lehigh Valley IronPigs know how to entertain a crowd. And they'll be pulling out all the stops Saturday during the Bacon and Brews Bash at Coca-Cola Park.
From 1 to 5 p.m., the on-field party will feature unlimited beer tastings of craft brews and food trucks serving bacon-themed dishes.
There also will be live entertainment, games and other fun, including the Lehigh Valley's 2nd annual hog-calling competition.
A limited number of tickets still remain.
Tickets are $45 per person for the four-hour unlimited tasting or $35 a ticket for three hours, from 2 to 5 p.m. For $5, tickets are available for designated drivers who will receive complimentary soda, or for those just wishing to eat bacon. You must be 21 to attend.
