Memorial Day Weekend in New Orleans has meant one thing for the last four decades: Greek Fest at Holy Trinity Cathedral.

This year’s festivities, which will take place at 1200 Robert E. Lee Boulevard along Bayou St. John from Friday, May 22, to Sunday, May 24, will center around the Kalamata olive, a staple of Greek cuisine.

The festival features plenty of homemade traditional Greek food, wine, and desserts, from the goat burger to the ouzo daiquiri.

A live Greek band will play throughout the festival, and traditional Greek dancing performed by Hellenic Dancers will keep the good times rolling.

There will be tours of the cathedral, canoe trips up and down the bayou, a Greek grocery with delectable cheeses, dips, spices, and much more.
