2026 Marietta Greek Festival

The 36th annual Marietta Greek Festival takes place at the Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church from May 15-17, 2026.  The event celebrates Greek traditions, culture and delicious Greek food and takes place the weekend after Mother’s Day each year.

A wide variety of Greek food will be available for purchase, including favorites such as Souvlaki (pork tenderloin kebabs), Keftedes (Greek-style meatballs), Dolmades (seasoned ground beef & rice wrapped in grapevine leaves), Spanakopita (spinach & feta cheese pie with a flaky filo crust), gyro wrap (seasoned beef or marinated chicken, grilled & served on pita bread, topped with Tzatziki sauce), smoked lamb sandwich, gyro bowls, and numerous other Greek foods. Sampler and combo platters are also available, and beverage choices include soft drinks, bottled water, wine, beer, greek beer, ouzo (grapes distilled with aromatic seeds such as anise, coriander and fennel), and metaxa (a blend of brandy and wine).

Be sure to save room for dessert which includes almond crescents, baklava, koulourakia, baklava sundae, and more. Can’t make up your mind, then try the dessert sampler which includes a variety of festival favorites.

The dance program will be performing at the amphitheater throughout the festival. The program is comprised of seven dance groups from ages 3 to 33 and is the largest Greek dance program in Georgia.

The event also features a Greek marketplace with more than a dozen vendors with items like Greek jewelry, handmade linens, scarves, Greek cuisine, Greek cookbooks, art, oil paintings, candle holders, wood crafted items and more.

Church tours are available throughout the weekend and last approximately 10 minutes.  The Byzantine style sanctuary and church tour showcases the rich color, distinctive iconography and beauty of the interior of the Orthodox church.
