The organizers of the St. Sophia’s Greek Cultural Festival in Syracuse, N.Y. are pleased to announce that this year’s festival is slated on the church grounds located at 325 Waring Road in DeWitt.

This year will be marked with special events as we celebrate our 50th annual festival! It will feature a full menu of all your favorite authentic Greek foods and desserts. Live Greek music and dance performances will take place under the outdoor “taverna” tent. Patrons will also have the chance to tour the church’s iconography project and shop for clothing, jewelry, and books in the Greek marketplace. “We are excited and eager to once again celebrate our Greek culture and heritage with our community,” said Parish Council President Peter Manolakos.

The event is free to attend and park. Complimentary shuttles are available from neighboring school parking lots.
