The Dayton Greek Festival started as a small church picnic in 1958 but grew as parishoners of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church began inviting friends and neighbors to join them to celebrate their culture. Always celebrated the weekend after Labor Day.
Hours this year are:
Friday September 9 (11am-10pm)
Saturday September 10 (11am-10pm )
Sunday September 11 (12pm-4pm)
While our Dayton Orthodox community was founded and built by early Greek Immigrants, the majority of parish today were born in Americas and includes numerous ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
Opa! An expression of joy and enthusiasm. Greeks shout Opa to celebrate music and dancing! And this festival will have lots of that. And plenty of food:
The Masonic Temple (across from the church) except Saturday from 11-2; this will be $10
Grandview Hospital Shuttle; parking will be at the Hospital’s Shaw Center at No Charge
Orthodox Church
500 Belmont Park North , Dayton
