Be Greek for a day!
The 33rd annual Marietta Greek Festival happens from May 19 to 21, 2023.
During the pandemic years, the festival was a drive-thru food event. But this year, it’s back in its original format and — we hope — better than ever.
The festival takes place at Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church, located at 3431 Trickum Rd. in Marietta.

- Friday, May 19th: 4 to 10 p.m.
- Saturday, May 20th: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- Sunday, May 21st: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The food prices are affordable and the food menu is extensive, including Greek favorites like:
- souvlaki
- grilled leg of lamb
- gyros
- chicken platters
- spanikopita
- dolmades (stuffed grape leaves)
- Greek salad
