55th Annual Greek Festival of Pensacola

Description

The Pensacola Greek Festival is one of the Pensacola Bay area’s signature festivals mixing southern hospitality with Hellenic culture and cuisine. Live Greek Music, youth folk dancing, and Church tours make 1720 West Garden Street into the place to be during the second weekend in October. The 3 day cultural event provides an opportunity for the Pensacola Greeks to share their heritage, culture and faith with the local community.

The event is held on the church grounds at 1720 West Garden Street under large tents and features a variety of delicious Greek dinners, sandwiches, coffee, desserts, drinks, and shopping in the Greek Market. We want our guests to experience the atmosphere of a typical Greek taverna - a casual restaurant with outdoor seating where you can enjoy traditional Greek cuisine and socialize with your friends.

Food, music and dancing are not the only attractions offered at this festival. Visitors can attend twenty minute church tours to see the architectural beauty of the inside of an Orthodox Christian church and learn a little about the Orthodox faith and its culture. Byzantine hymns will be sung by choir members at the end of each tour.

Hours are Friday from 11am- 10pm, Saturday from 11am- 10pm, and Sunday from Noon - 6pm. As always, admission to the festival is free.   For additional information, please visit www.pensacolagreekfestival.com.
