Greenville, South Carolina – We are back … and better than ever! Come experience Greek culture through food, dance, vendors, and our newest addition -- the Taverna. Come be “Greek for a Day.”  The community of Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral will celebrate our 37th Annual Greenville Greek Festival May 19 – 21, 2023.

Come experience authentic Greek food and pastries offered through both our drive-thru and onsite dining Friday and Saturday, 11am-8pm and Sunday, 11am-5pm. Order from the comfort and safety of your car or visit us in-person and enjoy your meal outside or inside (limited indoor seating).

Choose from three delicious combination plates featuring traditional favorites … Athenian Chicken, Pastichio, or Moussaka; or enjoy everyone’s favorite -- Gyros! We will also have a smaller plate options like Greek Meatballs (Kefetedes) with Orzo and Stuffed Grape Leaves (Dolamdes). Satisfy your sweet tooth with homemade Greek pastries featuring Baklava, Greek Cookies, or a combination assortment plate of all your favorites.

In addition to the above, we will also be featuring Greek Pizza, Lamb Burgers, Greek Fries, Souvlaki, Greek-Style Ribs, Baklava Sundaes, Greek Donuts (Loukoumades), Greek Coffee, Lemonade and Beer; all available outside on the festival grounds. New this year, our Taverna will feature Greek Beer, Wine, and a sampling of traditional Greek appetizers or “mezedes”.

Our Dance Troupe will be performing traditional Greek dances at various times throughout the festival, and we will have live Greek music every day.  Church Tours and an Iconography exhibit will also be offered.

The annual Greek Festival has become an Upstate tradition. We understand the challenges still faced by many in 2023, however we believe in the importance of sharing our culture with our neighbors through our Greek Festival. We appreciate the support that the community has shown us throughout the years and look forward to seeing everyone again this year.

The Saint George Greek Orthodox Community was established in Greenville in 1936. The first Greek Festival began in 1987 to share our ethnic, cultural, and spiritual culture with the community that has been so welcoming to our members over the years. This joyous tradition has continued for 37 years, and we hope to continue for many years to come. We welcome you and your family to come and experience this taste of Greece.
