The Nashville Greek Festival offers a rich, multi-sensory experience of Greek hospitality and culture. Savory cuisine, soulful music, lively dancing, and educational tours transform the church grounds at 4905 Franklin Pike into a three-day glendi. Come experience our heritage for yourself and be a part of this year's Nashville Greek Festival.

It's Greek Fest time in Tennessee

For over three decades, the Greek Orthodox Christian community has opened its doors to host one of Nashville’s landmark cultural events, the Nashville Greek Festival.

Give us an afternoon or an evening and we’ll give you a Taste of Greece.

Dancing & Entertainment

Come and see live Greek music with authentic PLUS festive traditional Greek dance performances. Once the sun goes down, put on your dancing shoes and give Greek dancing a try yourself!

Perfect gyros?

Fresh Greek Salad?

Greek beer?

Delicious baklava?

But how do you burn off all those calories? Dancing, of course!

If our bountiful food tents find their roots in the ancient version of today’s pop-up restaurant or hot truck, then our kefi - passion and joy in the moment - draws on a rich heritage of village feasts (paniyiri), wedding parties, and even warrior’s preparations.

This year’s entertainment line-up features performances of all ages on the main stage, including traditional bouzouki, and of course, Greek dancing. Our award-winning dance troupe shares the folk dances and costumes of different regions and islands, and asks you to join in some of the world’s oldest dance traditions - from the Kalamatianos to the famous Tsamikos.
