Join us to be Greek for the Weekend!
One of Greensboro's most highly anticipated cultural events is back!
The Greensboro Greek Festival is hosted by the parishioners of the Dormition of the Theotokos Greek Orthodox Church and takes place on the church grounds.
Fun For All Ages!
The family-friendly weekend features authentic Greek Cuisine, Pastries, Greek Music and Dancing as well as Greek Market & Gifts.
Greek Foods
Visitors can sample a variety of delicious Greek specialties, such as Athenian Baked Chicken, Lamb Shank, Gyro Sandwich, Chicken Souvlaki Sandwich and amazing Large Greek Salads.
Greek Desserts
Dessert alone is worth the trip. Patrons can try Spanakopita, Baklava, Kourambiedes, Finikia, Almond Crescent Cookies and Koulourakia! Pastries are available to go!
Greek Music
Greek entertainment is the centerpiece of the village atmosphere and takes place on an outdoor stage. The main tent is filled with the sounds of the mandolin-like bouzouki.
Greek Dancing
Along with Greek Music, there are dance performances, by the youth of the parish, scheduled throughout the weekend.
Opa Playland
Get ready for some family fun! Come and enjoy our kids' corner, face painting, and a super cool Greek-themed photo booth!
