St. George Greek Orthodox Church has celebrated its annual Greek Fest since 1977!  Originally, the Knoxville Greek Fest was organized to introduce Greek food, culture, and dance to the local community. Greek Fest is one of the most popular events in Knoxville, attracting over 20,000 visitors over the weekend.

The festival features a variety of traditional dishes, dances, music, and more! In addition, St. George’s award winning Greek dancers train and compete annually in competitions around the country. There is also an introductory church tour for those wishing to learn more about the Greek Orthodox history and faith.

We take this opportunity to thank you for being a patron of the Greek Fest, enjoying our culture, and helping us do more for our community needs.  And as we say in Greek "OPA"!  A celebration cheer of joy!
