09/05 - 09/07 - Yiasou Greek Festival 2025

The Yiasou Greek Festival began in 1978 and since then has become one of Charlotte's largest cultural events. The Yiasou (the Greek word for Hello, Goodbye and Cheers) Greek Festival features Hellenic cultural exhibits, authentic Greek cuisine and homemade pastries, entertainment, live music and dancing, wine tastings, art, shopping and more. We are excited to share our culture with you!

Kids Playland Offers Fun For All Ages

The festival is loaded with fun for the whole family. For children, we have a large playland complete with rides, activities and cotton candy.

Playland Activities

Children will enjoy their adventure at the popular Playland, with the atmosphere of a Fair complete with face painting, caricatures and more. Playland would not be complete without children's goodies like hot dogs, popcorn and cotton candy, which can be enjoyed on the front lawn of the festival grounds.

Playland Rides

Playland has been expanded with new rides and activities including the popular Spinner Ride, Tubs of Fun, Way Out Swings, Kopter Ride, Kiddie Ferris Wheel, and El Paso Train Ride.
