We know it can be frustrating when we run out of our hand made goodies. This year. we began baking earlier and made more of everything. We can't guarantee we won't run out of your favorite items, but hopefully, you'll have a better chance of satisfying your sweet tooth
-
Two entrees this year: traditional Greek style chicken dinner, or Pastitsio (lasagna-like) dinner
Also from the kitchen, home made appetizers: Tyropitakia, Spanakopita & Dolmathes
-
Gyro Sandwiches, Calamari, Greek Fries, Souvlaki, Loukaniko, Loukoumades, Greek Deli, Imports, Monastery items. And, of course, beverages.
We have a new booth. Baklava with ice cream. Give it a try.

We know that parking around the festival can be challenging. The new Tacoma Light Rail is a good alternative. Park at the Tacoma Dome Station for free. Grab the Light Rail train to St. Joseph's and walk down the hill about 1-1/2 blocks. The trains run every 12 to 20 minutes until 10pm. Use your ORCA card, or purchase a ticket at the station.

All point of sale transactions are cashless. You can use a credit card, debit card, or phone pay anywhere. If you want to use cash, we'll give you a free "spending card" that works like a credit card. You can also load Spending Cards with a credit/debit card. They're a great way to allow kids to make purchases without directly using Mom or Dad's credit card. Spending Cards have a $10 minimum load. Unused balances from a previous year will work.
As we've prepared for this Festival the cost of everything has increased, and unfortunately that fact is reflected in prices.
We are also a part of the Tacoma Community and donate a portion of our proceeds to a worthy local community advocacy organization. This year, the recipient will be "Tacoma Rescue Mission".
