The Annual St. Augustine Greek Festival is shaking things up during this year's event to provide guests a truly authentic Greek experience

Traverna Style will transport guests to a charming Greek restaurant. Reserve your space by purchasing your ticket online to enjoy an authentic lunch or dinner in the festive ambiance customary for Greek tavernas.

On their trip during Greek Festival – Taverna Style, guests will enjoy an authentic sit-down, multi-course meal, Greek wine, the sounds of Greek music and traditional Greek folk dancing.

The event also provides shopping opportunities at the Church's Agora (market), the St. Theodora's Gift Shop and Bookstore as well as the Zaharoplastio (for pastries and treats to take home!). The Kafenio will be serving up Greek frappes and friendly bartenders will have plenty of ouzo lemonade available for purchase.

Why Taverna style? Because breaking bread with family and friends is one of the cornerstones of Greek culture.

In ancient Greece, food was considered a sacred offering to the gods, and the preparation and consumption of food was believed to strengthen the connection between mortals and the divine. Today, eating is a social event for Greeks, and meals are a way to share food, socialize and enjoy each other’s company. Furthermore, food is a physical expression of love and hospitality and Greek take great pride in their cooking and the ritual of meals.

The Greek historian Plutarch famously said, “We do not sit at the table to eat… but to eat together.”
We hope you will join us for a meal and to celebrate Greek culture and heritage Taverna style!
