About The St. Augustine Greek Festival

For three days each year, Francis Field overflows with the sounds of Greek music and the aromas of classic dishes such as grilled lamb, pastitsio, dolmades, and spanakopita. Simultaneously traditional and contemporary, The St. Augustine Greek Festival shares with visitors the foundations of Hellenic culture. In a self-described authentic outdoor marketplace, vendors showcase a wide variety of modern arts and crafts. An enlarged and expanded kids' center, meanwhile, brims with carnival rides, games, and budding loukoumades jugglers.

To keep festival-goers fueled, staff at a traditional kafenio serve coffee and pastries, while those at the taverna fill cups with imported Greek beer and wine. The Ellada Band sets the weekend score with traditional Greek music, and they sometimes provide the rhythm for traditional Greek dance troupes who attendees can enjoy watching perform and even join in after the show.
