(WCTV) &#8211; The Tallahassee Greek festival kicks off from Oct. 24 to 25 on the lawns of the \u2018Holy Mother of God Greek Orthodox Church.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Attendees can experience the sounds and sights of Greek culture as the decade-long festival tradition continues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Greek Food Festival volunteer Stephanie Joanos said it\u2019s a family tradition and there\u2019s no secret to what makes it all work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThe food, definitely, and just us coming together as a family, as a community. I think people just love it,\u201d Joanos said. \u201cMy dad used to share, be the chairman of the Greek Food Festival for years before he passed. So this means a lot to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The festival runs Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For those driving, one helpful tip is to carpool if you can. While there is plenty of parking, it can get congested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTV.tv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wctvnews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@WCTVEyewitnessNews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nextdoor<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-start article-text\">Have a news tip or see an error? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/2025\/10\/25\/tallahassee-greek-food-festival-kicks-off\/mailto:news@wctv.tv?subject=Correction%20Needed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Write to us here<\/a>.
