The St. Nicholas Greek Folk Festival, hosted by St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at GreekTown Square in Baltimore's Greektown neighborhood, has run for more than sixty years as Maryland's largest Greek festival. Held over four days each June, it offers Greek food, wine, live music, and traditional dancing with free admission and free parking.
St.
The festival's Greektown setting is a genuinely distinctive backdrop most American Greek festivals lack: it takes place at a dedicated GreekTown Square and Events Center within a neighborhood specifically named for and shaped by Baltimore's Greek immigrant community, rather than a rented civic venue
Baltimore is also unusual in having two separate Greek Orthodox parishes each running their own annual festival, St
Nicholas's Greek Folk Festival and a separate event from the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation, so this festival's identity as specifically St
Nicholas's has real local significance for distinguishing it from its counterpart
Running more than sixty years places its founding in the 1960s, giving it decades longer continuous history than most ethnic street festivals in American cities
Traditional Greek folk dancing performed live throughout the four-day event
alongside Greek wine and sweets served in a town-square setting
are the festival's central traditions
distinguishing it as St
Nicholas Church's own long-running celebration within a Baltimore Greek-American community that supports two separate annual Greek festivals citywide
