Saints Constantine and Helen Cathedral & Greek Festival, OH

Description: Amazing Greek Meals, Home-Made Pastries. You don't have to pronounce the food names - just eat and enjoy at our annual party! The four-day celebration offers the public an opportunity to experience the sights, sounds and tastes of Greece. Attractions include authentic Greek music performed by THREE Greek bands and our popular Hellenic dancers in traditional folk costumes. Greek meals are some of the most embraced, and healthiest, ethnic foods in the USA. Full meals served in our air-conditioned dining hall or under the stars. Two Tavernas offer Greek wine & a choice of American or Greek beer. Large outdoor dining pavilions offer Gyros (pronounced "yeeros"), Souvlaki, amazing Calamari, Saganaki and even Greek coffee.

Classic Greek meals made by the parishioners include lamb shank, fish, Pastitsio, Moussaka, Spanakopita, Tiropita, rice pilaf, chicken, Greek salads and rice pudding. There are two pastry booths selling Baklava, Finikia and Galatobouriko and more! Learn to make these popular desserts during our Free Cooking Classes.

Shop for Greek art, imported jewelry, handcrafts and gifts. There are travel videos, books and CDs, religious items and Cathedral tours. Also, we have an enormous flea market in the lower level of the Church. NOTE: THIS IS A "RAIN OR SHINE" EVENT! You'd have to travel to Greece to have a more authentic Greek Meal! Get Your Greek On!
