There is something for everyone at the 43rd Annual Greek Festival in Salt Lake City this weekend.

People waited in line Saturday to try an array of phyllo-wrapped foods like baklava, spanakoiata and galaktoboureko. There were also gyros, meatballs, lamb dinners and vegan options.

Greek music and dancing filled the dining space. And crafts, pastries and coffee were found throughout the Holy Trinity Cathedral Greek Orthodox Church near 200 South and 300 West.

The festival continues Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
