We are proud to present the 33rd annual award winning Greek Festival in Downtown Santa Cruz. Voted Best Festival again! Greek Festival lovers will pack the streets at Center and Church Street, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday while enjoying authentic Greek food and desserts, live Greek music, Dancing, Gifts and Crafts, and a Rock Climbing Wall for the kids! For thirty one years the Santa Cruz Greek Festival has grown from a small affair in our courtyard, to a huge block party alive with the sounds of live Greek Bouzouki music and the smells of delicious Greek specialties like BBQ Souvlaki (soo-vla-kee) and Gyro (YEERO). The festival also features its usual handcrafted variety of wonderful dishes such as Moussaka (Moo-SA-Ka) lamb dishes, calamari, Pastitso and many more. The tavern will be serving Greek and American beer, wine and traditional Greek spirits. After dinner delicacies include the ever popular baklava (Bak-la VA), Loukoumades (Loo-koo-mathes), as well as a variety of pastries and Greek Coffee. Kids and adults both will appreciate the variety of food all while experiencing a taste of the Greece here at home.
