Events & Entertainment
The St. Spyridon Greek Festival has plenty to offer to our families in terms of entertainment, both inside the Cathedral and on the grounds! A true exploration of the Greek culture doesn’t stop at food; it also dives deep into the melodic notes of the bouzouki and our music, the scintillating views of our Icons and our Faith, the earthy aromas of Frankincense and our churches, the camaraderie of our dancers as their feet tap in unison, the nostalgic threads of our traditional dance costumes, the buzz of conversation as we mingle at the agora (market)… and so much more.
Whether you’re in the hall or under our tent, we invite you to experience Greece through our food, our Faith, our dancing and music, our language, and our history and art.
