60th annual Greek Festival From the Greek Festival of Pensacola The 60th annual Pensacola Greek Festival will take place Oct. 11 to 13 at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church located at 1720 West Garden Street. This three-day event draws upwards of 30,000 people from across the Southeast. Festival hours are 11 am to 9 pm on Friday and Saturday and from noon to 5 pm on Sunday. Admission is always free. The Pensacola Greek Festival is a staple of the Pensacola Bay area’s fall festival lineup, mixing southern hospitality with Hellenic culture and cuisine. This year, the Pensacola Greek Festival invites the Pensacola community to join in the fun and become Greek for the weekend. We recognize that our community would not be here without the continued support of our friends throughout the Pensacola community. This festival is a wonderful opportunity for the Greek community to share their culture, traditions, heritage, faith, food, dance and the fun-loving spirit of Greece right here in our hometown. We welcome everyone to join in the fun and festivities we have to offer the community of Pensacola. Live Greek music and traditional folk dancing will be among the entertainment highlights of the weekend. Youth dancers dressed in traditional costumes representing various regions of Greece will perform dance sets throughout the weekend, and the dance floor is
