At Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral, we deeply value our parish family, neighbors, colleagues and local community. Having a strong desire to protect everyone and to ensure that we do our part against the spread of the Coronavirus, the Greek Festival Committee, supported by the Cathedral’s governing body, has cancelled our annual Norfolk Greek Festival, held in May, to next year, May 13-16, 2021. By this schedule change, we hope to maintain the health and safety for all our patrons and Cathedral family. Until then, God bless you and stay safe!

Festival Information The Greek Festival, Tidewater’s oldest and largest ethnic festival, will include the traditional Greek cuisine, exciting Greek entertainment, arts and crafts, beautiful jewelry, tours of the Cathedral, and the very popular Drive-Thru.
