BELLEVIEW, FL (352today.com) – If you haven’t attended a Greek festival, you should probably take a good long look in the mirror and ask yourself how you really feel about things like “food” and “fun.”
The St. Mark Greek Orthodox Church Greek Festival returns to Belleview for its 26th year Friday through Sunday, April 24-26, 2026.
“Join us for an unforgettable experience featuring our lively taverna, authentic Greek food and pastries, live music and traditional dancing, unique vendors, exciting raffles, and so much more,” reads the announcement. “We are grateful for the opportunity to preserve our Greek heritage and share it with friends and visitors from across Central Florida.”
This indoor-outdoor, rain-or-shine event is centered around St. Mark Greek Orthodox Church at 9926 SE 36th Ave. in Belleview, and features everything from traditional food, culture and entertainment to children’s activities (Saturday and Sunday only), vendors and more.
Admission is free, and according to the announcements, this year’s festival is going cashless, meaning cards and digital transactions only for all additional amenities, from food and wine to ouzo. Things kick off at 11 a.m. daily, ending at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday.
This is a one of Belleview’s biggies, a beloved annual tradition, so expect to spend quite a bit of time on your feet.
