The Nashville Greek Festival begins Friday, Sept. 27 and runs through Sunday, Sept. 29 at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church — 4905 Franklin Pk. Here’s what to expect at the 36th annual celebration of Greek culture:

The schedule

Church tours will run throughout the festival. Visitors are welcome to the view the Byzantine-style architecture + iconography at their own pace or join a guided tour — see the event program for times. Other activities include traditional music and dancing.

The menu

Greek cuisine is the top attraction at the festival, and for that, you may want to peruse the menu ahead of time (Pro tip: a more detailed version is in the program). Here’s a sampling:

  • Feast on dishes like spanakopita, moussaka, pastitsio, souvlaki pita, and Greek-style fries.
  • Desserts include loukoumades (honey-dipped pastry sprinkled with powdered sugar), baklava, and other sweet treats.
  • Greek coffee, beer, and wine are on the beverage menu.

The need-to-knows

Admission is $5 and valid all weekend. First responders with valid ID + children 12 and under receive free admission. Off-site parking and shuttle services will be located at First Presbyterian Church — 4815 Franklin Pk.
