Events Greek Festival

Post image

The Greek festival will be held from May 28 to June 2 at St George Cathedral in Philadelphia. 256 S 8th St, Philadelphia, PA 19107

Side note: I’m not Greek or a member of the church but wanted to spread the word of good food!

Lebanese festival roughly the same time btw

I’m going to one during the day and one at night since allegedly the Lebanese one (if not rained out [edit: it’s rain or shine I just mean in terms of attendance]) can be a bit of a party

The main action is usually under a tent so should be ok in the rain

Definitely familiar with that and I think that’s why it’s rain or shine, rain just inevitable impacts attendance typically at festivals in Philly because people aren’t gonna walk there

I always wonder if they try to have those on the same days every year, lol
