That’s a wrap on another Oakland Greek Festival 🇬🇷
A huge thank you to everyone from Oakland and across the Bay Area who came out to eat, dance, reconnect, celebrate, and support our community this weekend.
Whether you came for the food, the music, the dancing, the pastries, the sunsets overlooking the Bay, or simply to spend time with family and friends — we’re grateful you chose to spend your weekend with us.

Year after year, it means so much to see both familiar faces and first-time visitors continue to support this special tradition and help us share a little piece of Greece here in Oakland.

And of course, thank you to our incredible volunteers, committee members, parishioners, performers, and vendors who dedicated countless hours behind the scenes to bring the festival to life. This event truly would not happen without the people who show up year after year to make it possible.

Σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ 💙
Until next year… OPA!

With love,
Sofoklis Kyriakopedi, OGF Chairman & the OGF Executive Committee

What’s that iconic green dome rising at the foot of the Oakland Hills? 👀
It’s the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Ascension — home of the and one of Oakland’s most unique architectural landmarks. ✨

Blending mid-century modern design with traditional Byzantine influence, the Cathedral has been turning heads since 1960 — but its beauty goes far beyond the dome.

Step inside and you’ll discover:
🎨 Floor-to-ceiling mosaics illustrating biblical scenes in the Narthex
🏛️ A breathtaking 65-ft dome soaring above the nave, featuring one of the largest depictions of Christ in the country
🌟 A gold perforated ceiling designed for exceptional acoustics throughout the Cathedral
🎶 Live performances by the Ascension Liturgical Choir throughout the weekend
❓Guided church tours and Q&A sessions with Fr. Nick.

Whether you come for the food, the music, the culture, or the architecture — don’t miss the chance to experience one of Oakland’s historic treasures.
