For the 23rd year, the St. Basil Greek Orthodox Church members prepare feverishly for their annual Festival, an ethnic celebration of authentic Greek food, music and dance, starting on Friday, June 9 and ending on the 11th, in Troy, NY.

The ‘Best Little Festival in Town’ is a culinary treat, first and foremost, and St. Basil members are particularly proud of the reputation they have earned as having the best food in the tri-city area! Guests can sample homemade Greek dishes, such as souvlaki, moussaka, lamb with potatoes and pastichio. A number of ‘mezedes‘ (little tastes) and vegetarian dishes such as stuffed peppers and spinach pie (our famous spanakopita) can be followed by the famous ‘Never on Sunday‘ ice cream or sweets like baklava, kourabiedes and loukoumathes. Take-out will be available.

In its 85th year, St. Basil is not only a religious community, but also a cultural center for all the Greek immigrant families of Troy and the surrounding areas.

Guests are welcome during Festival hours on Friday 5-10 p.m., Saturday 12-10 p.m. and Sunday 12-5 p.m. Church Tours will be available during these times.

St. Basil is located on 909 River St. (Rt. 4) at 101st St., north of downtown Troy.

RAIN or SHINE! Admission and parking are FREE.
