Hello John!
Great question! Los Angeles hosts several amazing Greek food festivals each year. Here are some of the most notable ones:

• The Los Angeles Greek Festival - Typically held at the Saint Sophia Cathedral, this festival features authentic Greek food, music, and dance. It's a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in Greek culture.
• Greek Independence Day Parade - Although it's a parade, it often features food stalls with delicious Greek delicacies.
• Greek Food Truck Festivals - Keep an eye on local food truck events featuring Greek cuisine. They pop up throughout the year!

As for IPTV shows, I'd recommend checking out various cooking shows and travel documentaries that explore Greek cuisine. One excellent resource for streaming is a high-quality IPTV solution that offers a variety of channels focusing on Greek culture, including food shows. Enjoy the festivals!
