For one weekend of the year, you don’t have to travel to Greece to experience Greek culture and living. Live the Greek lifestyle right here in Dilworth with the Yiasou Greek Festival!

The 2019 Yiasou Greek Festival runs from September 5th to September 8th at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral (600 East Boulevard). The festival dates back to 1978 and has since become one of Charlotte’s largest cultural events. Guests will enjoy wine tastings, live music, dancing, shopping, and cathedral tours.

The best part? The authentic, homemade Greek food! Mediterranean foods are not only delicious, but also healthy (okay, baklava is a stretch but it’s mostly nuts and honey!). Here’s plenty of dining opportunities to fit your schedule from sit down meals, a-la-carte options and even drive thru pick up.

Fun fact: Yiasou is the Greek word for Cheers!
