Philly Greek Fest will take place from Thursday, May 28, through Sunday, May 31, 2026, at St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Philadelphia. The annual Greek food festival will be held at the parish’s Center City location, 256 South 8th Street.

Organized by St. George Cathedral Church, the festival is an outdoor, tent-covered gathering centered on Greek food, drink, music, and traditional dance. The event is open to the public and welcomes visitors to the cathedral grounds for a weekend shaped by the Greek tradition of philoxenia, or hospitality.

The festival menu includes Greek specialties such as moussaka, spanakopita, tzatziki, gyros, lamb shank, baklava, and loukoumades, with online ordering available through the festival website. The program also includes traditional Greek folk dancing, live music, and cultural performances, with schedule details available from the organizers.

Philly Greek Fest will be open Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The festival will take place at St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral, 256 South 8th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
