Become Greek for One Weekend

Birmingham’s oldest and most cherished cultural event starts this week. Join your friends and neighbors at the 49th annual Greek Food Festival next month. This gathering has been an act of love and charity from the Greek Community to Birmingham going back four generations.

Since 1972 the festival has touched not only the lives of Birmingham and surrounding citizens but has also impacted many charitable organizations, both local and national. 

So far, they have donated a large portion of their proceeds which stands at over 3 million dollars, to charity.

Delicious and Traditional Food

Greek cuisine prepared lovingly by the parishioners of the community and served up during the festival with smiles and loving hands is a major part of the get-together. 

The festival has thousands of return visitors every year with eager anticipation for the wonderful dishes and cultural environment. Throughout the weekend, there is dancing and Greek music to entertain the many visitors who attend. 

 The exciting Open- Air festival provides outside tents with seating for dining.
