Greek Cultural Events

Our annual events thrive because of the generous efforts of many members of our local Greek community, and it is through their loving and devoted efforts that we are able to offer you this experience of Greece!

Presented by the Prophet Elias Church of Santa Cruz, The Santa Cruz Greek Festival is the longest-running cultural festival in Santa Cruz County. A local tradition since 1982, we love sharing our Greek heritage and rich culture with the community with delicious food, music, dancing, and kefi!
