Growing attendance over the years continues to create excitement as the word gets around, so bring your family, friends and co-workers to enjoy the festive atmosphere and our new expanded festival site. Facilities, children’s activities, Athenian playground & seating capacity have also been expanded. OPA!!

For decades now, Houston residents have turned out to partake of Greek culture and tradition. This four-day festival boasts a busy slate of live music, Greek folk dancing and authentic Greek food. Feast on the most delicious Greek cuisine this side of the Aegean prepared by community parishioners from recipes handed down over the centuries. Whatever you do, make sure not to miss the pastries!

Children’s activities make sure everyone in the family is accommodated, and a free shuttle helps take the hassle out of parking.

The Original Greek Festival has partnered with Greeni Recycling in an effort to recycle as much as possible from our event. Last year, with your help, we recycled 10,000 lbs of garbage.

Part of the proceeds from the Greek Festival have helped many people through donations to various charitable organizations, such as Children’s Assessment Center, S.E.A.R.C.H., Houston Area Women’s Center, Covenant House, Texas Emergency Aid Coalition (EAC), and the Star of Hope Mission.
