PENSACOLA, June 11, 2012 –
The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church of Pensacola is
already planning their 53rd annual Greek
Festival.
Like a visit to Greece, the Pensacola Greek Festival
offers a rich, multi-sensory experience of Greek
hospitality and culture. Savory cuisine, soulful music,
lively dancing, and educational tours transform the
church grounds at 1720 West Garden Street into a three
day “glendi” (celebration).
The Pensacola Greek Festival has become one of the
area’s signature fall festivals. The 3 day cultural
event provides an opportunity for the Pensacola Greeks
to share their heritage, culture and faith with the
local community. The event is held on the church grounds
at 1720 West Garden Street under large tents and
includes live bouzouki music, folk dance performances, a
variety of delicious foods, shopping in the Greek Market
and tours of the church. Hours are Friday from 11am-
10pm, Saturday from 11am- 10pm, and Sunday from 12 noon
- 6pm. Admission to the festival is free of charge.
Sponsorship and advertising opportunities are available
for individuals and businesses. Volunteers are welcome
to assist in pre-festival food preparation.
