New Jersey Greekfest 2019

Holy Trinity Church hosts their annual New Jersey Greekfest the weekend after Memorial Day. Watch chefs make traditional Greek food like spanakopita, moussaka, lamb, and baklava. Then, taste these scrumptious treats for yourself. The Joy/Hope & Goya Hellenic dancers perform live on Friday night. Fantasia performs traditional Greek music throughout the weekend. And you won’t want to miss your chance to win fun prizes in the 50/50 raffle. Tickets will be sold each day. Winners will be drawn right before closing on Sunday.

Organizers suggest a $2 donation per person to help offset the cost of the festival. For your comfort as well as the comfort of others, only service pets will be allowed on-site during the festival. Free parking will be available on the side streets around the church as well as the parking lot at Union County College up the street. A courtesy shuttle runs festival-goers from the lot to the church and back again. For more information about New Jersey Greekfest 2019 and a complete schedule of events, please visit their website.
