Jacksonville’s Greek Festival is returning for a full weekend of homemade food, live music, dancing and family-friendly activities this November. The three-day celebration will bring Greek culture and Orthodox Christian traditions together at St. John the Divine Greek Orthodox Church.
The 2026 festival is scheduled for November 13 through 15 at the church’s Beach Boulevard campus. According to the Jacksonville Greek Festival website, festival hours are 4 to 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Three Days Of Greek Food, Dancing And Cultural Programming
Food will be a major draw, with Greek cuisine, pastries and desserts featured alongside live entertainment. Organizers are also promising cultural performances, traditional dancing, games and activities designed for visitors of all ages.
Church tours will give attendees a closer look at St. John the Divine and its religious traditions beyond the festival grounds. 904 Happy Hour describes the event as a weekend centered on faith, family, tradition and community, with plenty of entertainment layered in for casual festivalgoers.
Festival Returns At The Church’s New Beach Boulevard Campus
This year’s celebration will take place at St. John the Divine’s newer campus, where the church lists its Jacksonville location as 12760 Beach Boulevard. The move gives the festival a spacious setting for food service, performances and community gatherings.
The church says it has served Jacksonville’s Orthodox faithful for more than 90 years and welcomes people from a range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Its festival site frames the weekend as an opportunity to experience Greek food, music, hospitality and traditions in a setting that is open to the broader Jacksonville community.
More festival details, including schedules and visitor information, are being posted through the event’s official website. The event is expected to offer a familiar Jacksonville fall formula: a little dancing, a lot of food and enough pastries to make “just one more” a questionable plan.
