San Diego Greek Festival

June 7-9, 2019 | St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church

It’s been 50 years in the making. The first “Greek Bazaar,” as it was called a half century ago, was held at the Scottish Rite Center in Mission Valley. Today, San Diego’s original Greek Festival, which takes place on the grounds of St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church in Hillcrest, has grown into one of the city’s most well-attended cultural celebrations. Organized by an army of volunteers and led by St. Spyridon’s parish priest, Fr. Andrew Scordalakis, the festival offers an abundance of food, fanfare, music, and dance. Choose from an impressive collection of Greek wine and beer along with Ouzo, Metaxa, and Retsina. A kid-friendly zone will keep young festival-goers entertained for hours on Saturday and Sunday. sdgreekfestival.com
