Greenville Greek Festival 2024 – Greek for a Day!
One of the things I decided to do this year is to try to get to as many events and festivals as possible in downtown Greenville. There is always so much going on especially in the summer! So this year was the first year we were able to go to the Greenville Greek Festival! I’m glad we did!
The festival takes place on the grounds of Saint George Greek Orthodox Church located at 406 N. Academy St., Greenville, SC. It was a cloudy day for us on Saturday but the rain held off all day and the crowds were good.
It costs $3 per person to get into the Greek Festival. There was of course lots of amazing Greek food available for purchase. There was music and dance as well. The dances were on a schedule and various age groups would perform throughout the day.
We had an opportunity to also go see inside the church. I had never been in there before. In the lower level of the church, they had their icons on display. Those were beautiful and they had explainations of Greek Orthodox and church history in relation to the Catholic Church and protestantism. We then went upstairs to see the main church and it was gorgeous. I have one picture of it below.
We’ll go back again. The one thing we did not take in was were all the vendors were. I would have liked to have seen that but will do that next years.
