Message From The Buffalo Greek Fest Chairwoman

It will soon be Festival time in Buffalo, and we are honored and humbled every year by the overwhelming support of our “City of Good Neighbors” who come from near and far to celebrate our colorful Greek culture, heritage and faith and be “Greek with us” for the weekend.

Through the generosity and support of our committed sponsors and patrons, and hundreds of community volunteers of all ages, it is with much pride and excitement that we look forward to opening our doors and hearts to you again this year.

This is a special year for our Church community, as we celebrate the Centennial of our location at this historical landmark church site on the corner of Delaware and West Utica.

We have spent the past year remembering and honoring the people and events of our glorious past that have been so instrumental to our longevity and success, and that includes you, Buffalo!!

Please come and join in our festivities, when the corner of Delaware and W. Utica comes alive with the sights, sounds and smells of Greece.

With gratitude,

Athena Tsembelis
Chairwoman
