SEATTLE, WA – A tradition since 1960, St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church announced the 2024 Greek Festival will return Friday, September 27 through Sunday, September 29 in Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood. Festival hours: Friday, September 27, noon-9 PM, Saturday, September 29, 10 AM-9 PM, and Sunday, September 29, 11 AM-6 PM.

Traditional Greek food, music, dancing, and culture will be in abundance when the grounds of St. Demetrios Church, located at 2100 Boyer Avenue East, transform into a Greek paradise.

The Greek Festival is cashless. Say goodbye to tokens – the Seattle Greek Festival is a cashless event. Credit and debit cards are accepted at all booths throughout the festival. Simply place your food, drink or pastry order and pay directly with any major credit or debit card directly at the individual booth.

The St. Demetrios Greek Festival offers free admission and free parking/shuttle options for attendees. Check the website for up-to-date shuttle information from the University of Washington Light Rail Station and Seattle Prep School. Bike racks will also be available all weekend for visitors to use.

This year’s menu of traditional Greek food will focus on the favorites, including but not limited to gyros, souvlaki, lamb, roasted chicken, spanakopita and more. Additionally, there is a selection of homemade Greek sweets and pastries prepared by members of St. Demetrios.

Greek wine tasting will be available, and Greek beer and wine will also be served in the Taverna bar, which will feature big screen TVs showing all the weekend’s major sporting events.

The award-winning St. Demetrios Greek dance groups and live Greek music will entertain visitors on the main stage throughout the weekend. Families can head to the children’s area, which will have activities and games ideal for the youngest guests. Visitors can also take tours of the church if they wish to view St. Demetrios’ beautiful sanctuary, including two new, large mosaics, and learn more about the Orthodox faith.

The St. Demetrios Greek Festival is staffed by volunteers from the St. Demetrios community, with all proceeds going towards St. Demetrios’ ministries and community outreach.
