Greek Festival 2026

Greek Festival

St. Augustine's annual family-friendly Greek Festival takes place at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church on Saturday, October 10, and Sunday, October 11, 2026. For that weekend, the church grounds are transformed into a Greek neighborhood festival, featuring Greek music and dancing, a gift shop, food and drink to enjoy on-site, and more food to take home for dinner. The festival is open from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, and from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. 

St. Augustine's Greek Festival celebrates the cultural and historical importance of Greek influence in the nation's oldest city. The ancient Greeks believed that the preparation and consumption of food strengthened the connection between mortals and the divine. Each year, Holy Trinity's congregation honors their history by creating food for all to enjoy. 

The festival features shopping at the Holy Trinity Agora (Greek market) and Zaharoplastio (sweet shop). St. Theodora's Gift Shop and Bookstore is also open for the event.

Food and Drink

The St. Augustine Greek Festival is known for serving authentic, homemade Greek foods, such as chicken souvlaki, dolmathes, moussaka, pastitsio, roasted lamb, and spanakopita. The kouzina (kitchen) offers à la carte foods, traditional plates, and full meals with sides. The psistaria (grill) offers gyros and sandwiches, plus chicken fingers and fries.

Greece is known for pastries, and this festival celebrates most of them at the zaharoplastio (pastry shop), which offers baklava, galaktoboureko, chocolate or plain kok, koulourakia, and several other sweet options.

Purchase Greek frappes at the kafenio (cafe), and ouzo lemonada, beer, and wine at the taverna (bar).

Shopping

You can preorder meals to go on the festival's website. Each year, as the festival nears, they offer pans of dolmathes, moussaka, pastitsio, spanakopita, tyropita, and baklava to go.  

At the festival, shop at the Holy Trinity Agora (Greek market), where vendors offer Greek items for your home or for gifts. 

St. Theodora's Gift Shop and Bookstore is also open for the event.

Entertainment

It's not a Greek Festival without the lively music and traditional folk dancing. You can experience both, plus other cultural performances, while you shop and dine on site.
