The 2008 Birmingham Greek Food Festival will take place September 11th through the 13th.  The Festival opens daily at 10:30 A.M. and lasts until 10:00 P.M  Please join us for great food, great music, and plenty of fun. 

The best way to experience the language, the culture, and the traditions of Greece is by surrounding yourself in our art. For centuries, music and dancing have played an integral role in Hellenic traditions, the Hellenic culture, and the Hellenic life.  At the Greek Food Festival you will find evidence of that truth, with live musical performances, and dancing performances.

Shopping

Each year thousands flock to the Holy Trinity-Holy Cross Greek Food Festival to enjoy homemade Greek food and pastries and/or watch traditional dances.  Often visitors find that shopping can be just as enjoyable.  At the Greek Folk Festival you can purchase ornate and historic icons, fine jewelry, religious texts, Greek cooking books (in english), Greek Music CDs, handcrafted items, authentic Greek sailor hats, and more!

Orthodoxy

Church Tours

For Greek-Americans, the importance of church cannot be overstated. It is a central and powerful force in our lives. Each day from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., patrons can engage in guided tours of the Greek Orthodox Church sanctuary.  Church members will be available to discuss the church, the icons, and the Greek Orthodox faith, and to answer any questions.
