To Do
While a large part of our Panegyri is our authentic Greek food, our entertainment offers something for everyone with live music, dancing, church tours, cooking demonstrations, shopping and a kid zone.
Folk Dancing
Our Greek Folk Dancers will take you on a musical journey through Greece, featuring dances from both the mainland and the islands. Enjoy the artistry and rhythm they perform in full traditional dress. We invite you for “open dance” at the end of each evening. So, come join us, dance, and give us the opportunity to share our heritage with you.

Church Tours
You will not want to miss learning about our church and our beautiful mosaic iconography. Holy Trinity-St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, built in a neo-Byzantine style, is very reflective and authentic of traditional Byzantine architecture. Take a tour and learn about the architecture and traditions of our Eastern Orthodox Christian faith.
Whether you join one of our tour groups or visit our church on your own, our beautiful church gives glory to God and will provide you with a vision and artistic interpretation of the Passion of Jesus Christ. We do request that you leave your food and drink with the attendant at the entrance of our church.

Cultural Exhibits
As much as everyone loves Greek dancing, music, and food, there is so much more we want to share with you. Our Parish, through its Greek Language School, has prepared the populist “Walk through History and Culture Exhibit – Ancient Times to Now”. This exhibit explains Greece’s past and present and its contributions to humanity and our Western civilization. We are also focusing on the parent of the Modern Greek State, Byzantium, i.e., Byzantine Greece. For 1200 years, Byzantium, centered around the city of the legendary Byzas, later called Constantinople. This state played a pivotal role in the continuation of classical Greek language, ideals and values, as well as making an immense contribution in the development, nurturing and growth of Christian faith.
