Want to be Greek for a Day? You can at the 2019 Tulsa Greek Festival. When is it? Never forget, always
remember, it’s the third week of every September!
Come visit the best “lil” stop in OPAhoma – just off route 66 – The Tulsa Greek Festival! Our annual, 4-
day event begins Thursday, September 19 and runs through Sunday, September 22.
What can you expect?
At the Tulsa Greek Festival music fills the air as guests arrive and stroll Greek Street while deciding which
Greek delicacy to indulge in first!
Is it a dinner from the OPAhoma Entrees tent, or a Gyro, Greek Fries and Calamari from Greek Street
Eats? Or wait…there’s also the Kefi booth serving crisp salads, Kefthedes (Greek Meatballs), Loukaniko
(Greek Sausage) or the Athenian special Small plate (think Greek Tapas). And if you really want a show,
stop by the all new “Temple of Fire” to get some Saginaki (flaming cheese with a splash of Metaxa).
Keep in mind you need to save room for Baklava, Baklava Sundaes or our famous Loukomades (Greek
Doughnuts)!
Can’t decide??? No problem!
Grab a refreshing Greek beer, wine, frappe or a frozen OPA!rita and take your time.
Listen to live Greek music, watch our dance groups perform, or visit the kid’s zone. Head indoors for
some cool air while perusing our Agora (market) area. Inside you will find the boutique, expanded
marketa complete with frozen items to take home, Yia Yia’s attic, fine jewelry and our historic church
tours.
If you still can’t get enough of the Greek experience there are more options! Enter our fun-filled Greek
French Fry eating contest and win the coveted “Lord of the Fries”title. Or if you are ready to party, we are “Bringing Kefi Back” Friday and Saturday evenings starting at 7:00pm to close.
“KEFI” is a Greek word meaning Joy, spirit, passion, happiness, mojo, excitement – loving life! During this
time you can dance in the streets with our Greek dancers. Or compete in our Greek mini-Olympic
games.
And if all else fails and you can’t make it this year – you are still in luck! Order online from our catered
lunch program and have it delivered to your business. So many options at the 2019 Tulsa Greek Festival-the Best Lil’ Stop in OPAhoma!
