Sts. Constantine & Helen of Washington, DC Greek Festival 2015
St. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church of Washington, DCGreek Festival 2015Saturday, September 12th & Sunday, September 13th, 2015The 2015 Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Festival is taking place on September 12, 2015 and September 13, 2015 at its temporary church location, St. Andrew Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral, 15100 New Hampshire Avenue, Silver Spring, MD. Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church of Washington DC, offers the largest & oldest Greek festival in the Washington, D.C. area. We bring a "Taste of Greece" to the areas neighborhoods and suburbs. The festival is open to the public with FREE admission, FREE parking and covered eating areas. Credit cards are accepted. In addition to Greek food, the festival features authentic Greek coffees, beers, wines, and live Greek music. Our Greek Marketplace offers books, jewelry, trinkets and religious items. For 54 years, the Ladies Society of Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church,the Philoptochos, has prepared their authentic Greek fare in two small church kitchens using recipes passed down from generation to generation and producing a menu of Greek favorites like, Mousaka, Pastichio, Manestra, Spanakopita, Tyropita, Dolmades, as well as succulent Greek pastries such as, Baklava, Diples and Kataifi. This year alone, the Philoptochos, has baked, kneaded, cooked, and fried over 2500 pieces of spanakopita, 4500 pieces of baklava and 3000 pieces of diples. Many of these recipes are now available in our Community Cookbook The first three-day festival began in 1960, as an expansion of our one-day bazaar that was established in the late 1940s. The festival is our way of sharing our culture with surrounding community. Our 95-year old Church was started by a small group of Greek immigrants in 1918 at 6th and C Streets, NW, in Washington, D.C., headed up by Fathers Menides and Metaxopoulos with a small congregation of 100. The 16th and Upshur location was acquired in 1954 to fulfill the growing numbers of parishioners. We have recently purchased a large parcel in Montgomery County, MD and will be building our new home in the next year. For more history click here.
