The sights, sounds, and flavors of Greece are coming to South Jersey as Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church hosts its beloved annual Greek Festival from June 5–8. The four-day celebration promises authentic food, lively entertainment, and fun for all ages.
Festivalgoers can indulge in traditional Greek favorites such as gyros, souvlaki, spanakopita, pastitsio, and baklava, all prepared by parish volunteers. The popular outdoor taverna will once again offer music and dancing on Saturday night, June 7, featuring DJ Khan.
Guests can also enjoy ethnic Greek dance performances on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, along with amusement rides — with special pricing available on Thursday and Sunday. Guided tours of the church will be held nightly beginning at 6 p.m., offering insight into the history and traditions of the Greek Orthodox faith.
Back by popular demand, fireworks will light up the sky on both Thursday and Sunday nights. Raffles will take place each day, including a 50/50 drawing and the grand prize: an X-Pro Milos 50 Moped.
The event runs Thursday and Friday from 5 to 10 p.m., Saturday from noon to 11 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 10 p.m. The festival is held at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, located at 7004 Ridge Avenue in Egg Harbor Township. Admission is just $1, and children under 5 are free. Parking is free for all guests.
