About the Festival

Welcome to St. Andrew’s Edgewater Greek Fest!

Experience the warmth of Greek hospitality at St. Andrew’s Edgewater Greek Fest, where the sights, sounds, and flavors of Greece come alive. Hosted by St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church, our annual festival brings together parishioners, neighbors, and visitors from across Chicagoland for a weekend of delicious food, lively music, traditional dancing, and family-friendly fun.

This year’s festival is especially meaningful as we celebrate the 64th annual Greek Fest and the 100th anniversary of St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood. For a century, our parish has been a center of faith, fellowship, and Greek culture on Chicago’s North Side, preserving cherished traditions, building lasting friendships, and serving generations of families. Through our faith and the guidance of Christ, our community has flourished at our home on Sheridan Road. We invite you to join us as we celebrate this historic milestone and share the rich traditions, hospitality, and spirit that have defined St. Andrew’s for the past 100 years.
