St. Nicholas Greek Folk Festival

The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church Greek Folk Festival, or St. Nicholas Greek Folk Festival or Greek Folk Festival for short, is one of the Mid-Atlantic region’s largest and longest running annual Hellenic events and is the most attended Greek-American community event in Maryland. For more than thirty years, the Greek Folk Festival has played a key role in providing a forum for showcasing a multitude of Greek cultural expressions by featuring the finest Greek talent alongside some of the most acclaimed Greek musicians in United States today. In addition, the Festival has pleased thousands of palates with homemade (and thus authentic) Greek cuisine that harkens back to simpler days and brings the flavor of Greece to Maryland.

The Greek Folk Festival celebrates the rich cultural, musical, and culinary heritage of Hellenic Culture; however, its appeal is a much broader reflection of the rich and diverse multicultural nature of Baltimore, Maryland, and the United States and it has evolved into a premier event featured in Baltimore’s Showcase of Nations Ethnic Festivals.

The Festival, a four day, weekend celebration (please see the festival schedule for dates and times), is open to the general public and all events, with the exception of After-Hours events, offer free admission.
