Community Festival
Sat–Sun, Aug 29–30, 2026
16th Annual Mediterranean Festival
📍 7580 Pierce St & St. Elias Park, Arvada
🎯 Two days · open to all ages and backgrounds
Our flagship celebration — two days of Mediterranean music, food, and fellowship for the whole community. Savor authentic Arabic music and Mediterranean cuisine, Turkish coffee, flavored hookah, henna art, and a fashion show, with contributions from the many cultures of the Mediterranean. Start by meeting Fr. George Shawareb, who shares the history and traditions of the Orthodox Church, then head to St. Elias Park for the fun.
Something for every age
Friendly basketball, volleyball, and ping-pong, a watermelon-eating contest, bounce castles, and water play from a fire truck for the kids. Mediterranean food, Turkish coffee, and treats are available on-site — every purchase supports the parish.
