Tampa Greek Festival

Now in its 45rd year, the Tampa Greek Festival returns to our Tampa Bay community after canceling 2024's event due to damage from Hurricane Milton. With our campus fully restored and our faith strong, we look forward to again sharing our rich culture, heritage and faith with our community. Our festival draws more than 7,000 people to St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in South Tampa's Hyde Park neighborhood.

You don't have to fly 5,000 miles to experience a taste of Greece:
- Greek Cuisine. Outstanding food and scrumptious pastries.
- Greek Cafe. Made-to-order Greek coffee.
- Live Music. Live music provided by Greek Bouzouki band, John Demas and the Omega Project.
- Live Dance Performances. St. John's dance groups performing around the clock.
- Greek Market. "The Bakaliko," or "neighborhood market," will feature traditional pantry essentials as well as jewelry and fine Mediterranean merchandise.
- Orthodox Bookstore selling Icons, religious books, gifts, and jewelry.
- Children's Play Zone.
- Church Tours. Tour of St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church and discover the meanings behind the ancient Christian faith. Tours provided by Rev. Fr. Stavros Akrotirianakis, and Rev. Fr. John Stefero.
