The 56th annual Sacramento Greek Festival is a family-friendly celebration of authentic Greek dishes, honey-drizzled pastries, specialty wine and beer, live music and dancing all weekend!

The Greek Festival recently moved back to the block on Alhambra in East Sacramento where it all started more than fifty years ago. In the spirit of the Greek tradition, the church invites the community "into our home" at our new indoor/outdoor venue where we'll host an authentic "panigiri" -- a party under the stars that dates back centuries, featuring live music, dancing and delicious food.

All proceeds support parish outreach, youth programs and local charities.

Highlights include:
-Kuzina (kitchen): Farm-to-fork food court featuring homemade Greek specialties like spanakopita (layers of baked phyllo, feta and spinach)
-Psistaria (grill): Outdoor BBQ serving up irresistible souvlaki and lamb chops prepared with Greek spices
-Taverna (bar): Greek wine, imported specialty sodas and popular Fix and Mythos beers
-Zaharoplastion (pastry shop): Honey and butter-drizzled baklava, loukoumades and much more
-Kafenion (cafe): Traditional Greek coffee (it will keep you up all night!) and delicious chilled coffee drinks...all the rage on the Greek Islands
