Glendi International Food Festival is Santa Rosa's premier ethnic food and dance event, featuring fresh, authentic food and drink from around the world.
The Glendi International Food Festival is Santa Rosa's premier ethnic food and dance event, with Edessa performing on both days. Each year, on the third Saturday and Sunday of September, since 1989, the Parish has hosted this festival of fresh and ethnically authentic foods from Russia, Romania, the Middle East, the Balkans, Greece, and Eritrea. You can also enjoy beer from local microbreweries, an impressive selection of wines, as well as sodas and iced drinks. As the evening gets late, try our wonderful Greek or Eritrean coffee with a homemade pastry from our bakery. This year is our 26th anniversary celebration and will include lots of new and special touches for all to enjoy.
