EAT, DANCE, AND BE GREEK AT THE 2012 TAMPA GREEK FESTIVAL

The 2012 Tampa Greek Festival is just around the corner. Join us Friday-Sunday, November 9-11, 2012. Attracting more than 7,500 people each year, this annual community event just keeps getting better! We offer fresh, authentic Mediterranean meals, luscious desserts, a kafenion (coffee bar), and lively, spirited Greek dancers.

Since last year’s inaugural “Opa!” party tent was an outstanding success – we are doing it again! Guests old and young are invited to dance together until the midnight hour, bringing the sweet strains of live Greek music to the streets of South Tampa.

Come join us: eat, drink, and BE GREEK for the weekend!
