20th Annual St. Augustine Greek Festival and Arts & Crafts Fair

Presented by Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church at Francis Field

Opa! Come join in the fun and celebrate the St. Augustine Greek Festival and Arts & Crafts Fair 20th Year Anniversary! This is the cultural event of the year as Francis Field downtown St. Augustine is transformed into a virtual Greek village. Enjoy delicious Greek food and pastries, traditionally-costumed Greek folk dancers, FREE Greek dance lessons, and live Greek music performed by the Hellenic Band all weekend long! Not to mention the Kid’s Olympian Village (Kids area) with rides, games, and more! New for this year, in honor of our 20th Anniversary, we will present daily cooking demonstrations. As a gift to our community and to ease the losses due to Hurricanes Matthew and Irma, we will be giving FREE admission. We thank you all for the past 19 years and look forward to seeing you this year!

Greek Entertainment
The Hellenic Band performs live all weekend in the main tent, and the Nisiotes and Asteria Greek dancers demonstrate the rich culture of Greek dance. Visitors can learn the steps and participate.
This family-friendly event includes an outdoor marketplace and a Kids Center offering games, rides and activities. Vendor booths will be set up offering jewelry, arts and crafts and more. In addition, a selection of reading material on the Greek Orthodox faith, icons and other unique items will be available for purchase.

Greek Food and Drink
The Greek Festival offers an amazing array of Greek foods, pastries and beverages, including moussaka, dolmades, souvlaki, spanakopita and pastitsio. Many of the dishes are Legacy recipes provided by parishioners of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Families looking for an alternative food option for their children will find gyros, hot dogs, and snacks on the kids menu.
A village Kafenio will be set up where visitors can relax and sip a Greek coffee while trying out some favorite Greek pastries from the bakery. In the Taverna, Greek wine, cold beer and Greek lemonade will be available. Other not-to-be missed treats are saganaki (flaming cheese) and a variety of Greek desserts that include baklava and other delicious pastries.
