SUMMARY:Long Beach Greek Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Long Beach Greek Festival is one of the longest-running cultural festivals in Southern California\, held annually at Saint Anthony Greek Orthodox Church in Long Beach and celebrating Greek culture through food\, dance\, music\, and community in a setting that feels like someone moved a Greek village block party to California.\n\nThe festival runs across Labor Day weekend with three days of continuous Greek food — spanakopita\, souvlaki\, gyros\, loukoumades (Greek donuts)\, baklava\, galaktoboureko\, and the full spread of traditional Greek cuisine prepared by the church community kitchen that has been making these dishes for decades. The food lines move fast and every item is freshly made.\n\nLive Greek music and folk dancing run throughout the weekend on an outdoor stage. The Hellenic Folk Dance groups perform traditional dances from different Greek regions — the synchronized circle dances are a visual highlight — and audience participation is actively encouraged. Greek goods\, crafts\, icons\, jewelry\, and olive oil products fill the vendor area.\n\nSaint Anthony Greek Orthodox Church is located at 3950 Cherry Ave in Long Beach. Parking in the surrounding neighborhood\; the festival is walkable from adjacent streets. Admission is charged at the gate — typically a small fee for adults\, children free. This is a church-community festival in the best sense: organized by and for the Greek American community of Long Beach and the South Bay\, welcoming everyone who wants to spend a day immersed in that culture.
