Plan the visit
Hold October 1-3 for the 60th anniversary
The organizer confirms Thursday through Saturday, October 1-3, 2026 at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Thursday is evening-only, while Friday and Saturday run from late morning into the evening, so choose the day based on how much time you want on site.
Use the official schedule for dance and cathedral tours
The festival publishes timed cultural programming, including traditional dance and cathedral tours. Review that schedule before arrival if those experiences matter more than food and marketplace browsing.
Plan transportation before entering Montrose
The event is held at 3511 Yoakum Boulevard near several major Houston corridors. Check the organizer's current parking and transportation guidance rather than assuming cathedral-adjacent parking will be available throughout the weekend.
