OPA! Enjoy the Spirit of Greece! The 67th Annual St. Basil Greek Food Festival will be held on September 11th through 13th at St. Basil Greek Orthodox Church, 920 W. March Lane in Stockton.
The Greek Food Festival is a popular event that brings the community together to enjoy the best of Greek culture, cuisine, baked goods, family entertainment and shopping. The event is held both indoors and outdoors on the beautiful grounds of the St. Basil Greek Orthodox Church. Proceeds benefit the Ministries Charities of the Greek Orthodox Church.
The highlight of the Greek Food Festival, is of course, the authentically Greek, homemade original recipes such as: loukoumades; dolmades; calamari; pastitsio; and gyros. New to the festival this year is souvlaki, a flavorful grilled pork skewer, and galaktoboureko, a cream-filled phyllo pastry. Guests may buy from a variety of stations and enjoy the beautiful outside food court pavilion, or meals inside the community hall. Home baked fresh breads and desserts include; koulourakia; karidopita, and baklava.
These items can be enjoyed in the food court pavilion or purchased to take home to enjoy. A market place for shopping is a festival highlight, and children are encouraged to enjoy the Kid’s Zone. The main stage provides Greek music throughout the weekend, featuring Kymata, The Bay Area’s premier Greek band, and the fabulous dancing of Demetrios Arabatzis.
The Greek Food Festival is a family-friendly event for all ages! Attendees will get to enjoy the most authentic, delicious homemade Greek food, while enjoying activities and live music. Shade cloths and misting stations will keep guests cool as they enjoy the festivities.
Tickets are $5 at the door. Children 11 and under are admitted free with an adult.
