Good ol' Yelp suggested this in the events section and I'm so glad I saw it because I love going to different Greek Festivals throughout California. Also if you so happen to follow the festival on Facebook they have a lot of advertising of the festival and even a coupon for $1 off admission. The festival is very nice, clean and well organized. Admission fee is $3 but that's a small price to pay for such a nice festival. When you first walk in you see the beautiful church, quite breathtaking. Then you will notice many vendors, selling jewelry, clothing and other items. I did not really take a good look at all of the vendors as I was simply there to eat lol. There were plenty of tents that were selling Greek Fries, Gyros, Lamb Chops and things like that. There were also tents which were selling all of the yummy Greek desserts and drinks as well. While everything looked really good at the tents I decided to go to the Greek Kitchen where the dinner plates were served. This is where you can find the Moussaka, Patstitsio, Spanakopita, Greek style chicken and much more. They also sell desserts and drinks in here as well (they have a small bar set up). I decided to go with the Moussaka dinner plate ($15) which came with rice pilaf, salad, green beans and a roll. Moussaka is my all time favorite Greek dish and is was amazing. The beef and potato was cooked perfectly, the bechemel sauce was flavorful and not too heavy and it was all baked to perfection. The rice, green beans and salad were very good well. The meal was very filling. There were plenty of tables inside to seat plenty of people. I also got a dessert that I have been looking for and it has been very hard to find at other Greek festivals and it's called Bougatsa ($4). It's a phyllo dough filled with custard, baked to perfection and topped with powdered sugar. Definitely my favorite dessert and it's just amazing. Since I arrived right when the festival opened up I did not get to see any of the entertainment or performers which I am a bit bummed out about but there's always next year. The festival did have a small carnival area for kids but there wasn't much going on while I was there. I highly suggest coming here, it's a nice Greek festival and while it's not the largest it is about the average size that you would expect a Greek festival to be. You will find plenty of good food, desserts and drinks. Do try to come early as parking is scarce, you have to be careful parking in the neighborhood as many of the street parking was permit only. You can however park at the Walmart and a shuttle is provided and will bring you to the festival. I will definitely be back next year!

What's not to like? The dance - planned or impromptu. Either costumed or in street clothes. The live music - authentic and intoxicatingly beautiful. The food - I should have been born Greek. There is no such thing as bad food. The church - elegant, mystical, warm. The people - maybe a bit clannish, but can you blame them? They live a vibrant life and party hard. And they are willing to share that with the rest of us. Yep, a fun few hours and a fun glimpse into a beautiful, classic culture. Downside? White girl here (wannabe Greek) got sunburned.

moussaka + pastichio = YUM!

Well organized festival! When you are closer to the church, you will see signs to park in the parking lot where the shuttle is (behind the Buena Park Wal Mart). It was very efficient getting to and from the church from the lot with its free shuttle service. Getting in this year was $3 and you're in. This is much bigger and more organized than the Pasadena Greek Fest as it had large carnival rides and retail area of vendors. They also had the nicer port-a-potties with running water and working vents - fancy! I was only there for the food. My exposure to Greek cuisine was limited to the Mediterranean fare of kebabs and gyro wraps. My mission was to see what else was there besides the typical skewers. Outside area was the kebabs and grilled meat you usually see at Mediterranean fast food joints. There were beer/drink stands, a pastry stand and a loukoumades stand. My friend really enjoyed her 2 chicken souvlaki sticks with bread ($7). Inside the building was where they hosted a cooking demonstration, another pastry stand, and other Greek dishes that didn't require open flame or frying. I balked at trying moussaka at the last Pasadena Greek Fest because of the $15+ price tag which included other filler carbs (rice and salad) I didn't want to eat. I actually wanted to sample actual entrees and the OC Greek Fest offered a la carte items for $5 each. Perfect! Moussaka + pastichio = pure deliciousness. I was so happily stuffed. After dinner, we hovered over the dessert stands for quite some time, trying to decide what to eat. We shared huge baklava pastries (2 for $5). It was good but too sweet. We also experienced a walnut cake which I have no idea what it was. It's a Greek version of tres leches plus crushed walnuts and toasted coconut flakes on top. We left with loukoumades (my first time; $7 for regular) which were tasty but I would prefer to spend my carbs points on any of the other Greek pastries. I found out how much I like honey and walnuts in crushed form from these Greek fests. YUM. The only thing that we missed was demonstration of traditional dances. If you live close by and want to experience something different out of your food bubble, definitely stop by this Greek fest!.

My first girlfriend in the 4th grade was Greek. I used to get invited to eat over her house all the time and oh man how I lived her mama's cooking and besides that she had the biggest boobs in the 5th grade (I was younger) so since then I loved most all things Greek. Opa! Another fun year at the Greek fest at St. Johns. If you've never been, you are missing out on some good eats, music and a great time. So follow me here on this Mediterranean journey to learn how to get your own inner Greek on. Greek Fest by the numbers. 1) Parking generally sucks so catch a shuttle from the Buena Park Wal-Mart up the street. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/walmart-buena-park?select=KPdzbfYKb7hJR5LZ4eIMsg#tLgaPXWQK4yOE_oCUl0jiw 2) Pay the $3 buck admission and head straight to the beer line towards the back side. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#CcvJBMEIBehYfXhunFr7hw Do not stop and look at the many vendor booths that will come later. 3) Get beer then head to your right towards the pastry booth. Its huge you can't miss it! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#CcvJBMEIBehYfXhunFr7hw 4) Pound your beer while looking at the mega Greek desert and pastry booth not far from the beer booth. Make mental note on what ones to buy later. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#hGTC_8DQvv8rw_1QJ9iGAw 5) Return to beer booth. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#CcvJBMEIBehYfXhunFr7hw Repeat as required. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#sP2GI48RJrKQaUNRVEXwsg 6) Go scope out the food booths for something that fly's your flag. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#YIkGSZbgFJdNriIFsHRBHA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#SwXrlNu-vFr-yHKE67M0VQ Go for the Mega Gyros, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#u9CJfvsfYcLJpNgVLYOZ1w Kabobs, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#5cIYeUNO0VbRvA-Bbrw-Kw Lamb http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/oc-greek-fest-st-johns-greek-festival-anaheim?select=R9r7txpRNjAVx4wH9XmzSQ#J8mo3i5okL2NFCHmicO6Vg Yum! 7) Greek wine is more your style?

When summer rolls nearby, festivals selling tasty and really unhealthy street food start popping up everywhere. I had never been to a Greek festival, so we decided to check this one out this year after seeing the Yelp event listing. It also helped that it was free admission with an online printout. With all the traffic around the area, we took the big tour bus shuttle from the Wal-Mart parking lot. It was those nice luxury buses too, but some old yellow school bus either. I thought everything went pretty smoothly, as we didn't have to deal with the hassles of finding parking around the neighborhood, which looked really congested. We got dropped off in the front entrance, and we were snacking on tasty Greek food in no time. I've got a bit of a sweet tooth, so the Loukoumathes really hit the spot. Crispy, glazed and sweet on the outside, it gave way to a soft interior the moment I bit into it. They pile on so much on your little tray, that one of them dropped to the ground. Much to the chagrin of some lady walking by, she said "awwww!" The feta fries, or potato chips, were good. While walking around checking out other things, we couldn't stop snacking on it. It was gone in no time. We also tried some of the other homemade Greek dishes in back area of the gym. The food was pretty inconsistent, some too salty, and some too bland. Overall, fun to check out but not sure we would return on a yearly basis.

This year (2012) was my first time attending this festival. I had always heard about it in recent years, and used to drive by it during other years, but never went before. Let's just say I'm glad I made the decision to go this year! This fest may not have been to the same extent as the O.C. Fair, but it was still a nice cultural experience nonetheless. I don't know all that much about Greek culture, so it was interesting to try out some of their foods as well as listen to the live band playing Greek music. It was cool seeing many people dancing as well, especially the cute little toddlers with their traditional Greek outfits! I arrived right around their opening time (12PM on a Saturday), and there wasn't many people there yet, so I was able to avoid the lines at the food booths. I tried out two of their pastries (bummer, I don't remember the names of the pastries right now), and they were both delicious. One of them was a sort of apricot tart, and the other was basically a ginger spice cake. They were each $2, which wasn't bad at all. The other foods, on the other hand, cost quite a lot, such as the sandwiches and chicken kabobs. It was about $7 for the chicken kabob alone, served with bread. I saw an entire meal would cost someone over $10. The money goes to a great cause though, but unfortunately, I just couldn't afford it this time around. Maybe next year! Because the food looked amazing! In regards to food still though, there was also a dining hall type place beside the church where there was another variety of foods as well. You could either eat in there or just go out to the tables they had set up right outside, which was a nice environment as well due to the surrounding beautiful architecture of the church and other buildings. This festival had tons of clothing, jewelry, and other accessories on display for sale as well - ESPECIALLY jewelry. The fact that I was running into jewelry vendors everywhere I looked was crazy, but I'm sure not complaining. The jewelry were so beautiful, and ranged from $5 to $20 as far as affordable to okay prices goes; $40+ on the more pricier side. There were tons of belly dancing attire for sale as well, which was cool. At the festival, visitors can get a tour of the Greek Orthodox Church there itself. I did not get a chance to take part, but I did check out the insides of the church on my own a few hours before then. It is gorgeous inside! All in all, I had a nice time here and I wouldn't mind going again next year or so. I suggest people check it out next year! Admission wasn't so bad either. It's $4 per person, and if you bring in a coupon of theirs (which you can find at their web site, or from the local newspaper) you only have to pay $2.

Insanely expensive food! Geez. $20 for a lamb plate? $11 for a gyro? Set up was clean with plenty of tables but that was about it. Not very much food and what was offered was repetitive. Shopping was small and also redundant. Desserts were numerous but also very similar to each other. Lamb plate was $20 and came with three lamb chops and sides of impossibly salty salad and rice. The lamb was good though, but not worth $20. The Gyro was not real. The "meat" was frozen and formed into flat ikea style cut outs which were thrown on the grill to defrost then tossed into a pita. Taste was what you'd expect in an airport eatery. My favorite of the day was a custard filled filo dough dessert. I forget the name but it's in the photos somewhere. But at $4 a piece, I had to curb my enthusiasm. Won't be going again though I'm glad I did go once. It's just too expensive. I'll make lamb home or I'll go to a proper Greek restaurant to get gyro.

opah!

This was my first time ever coming here. Not something to rave about, maybe I missed something? We printed out the free tickets, good thing because it was NOT worth even $3 in my opinion. I saw a bunch of dancing in circles, which was cool, but 1 was enough for me. The pastry area looked cool. We tried some 2 for $1 cookies that tasted like dry gingerbread cookies. Then we tried some $2 cake that tasted like banana nut bread, it was good. Everything looked home made. Then it was off to try the food. Expensive!!! I was trying to find something i can't get at Daphne's Greek. Feta Fries for $6 it was. Interesting. It looked like potato chips but was a bit thicker so it still tasted like potatoes with lots of feta cheese on top. it was good, not great, but good and different. Everything else was expensive! margaritas were half price $3 when we came. Now I know why, they're like slushies, but I barely tasted any alcohol and didn't even get a tiny buzz off it. it might as well have been a slurpee with a margarita sign slapped on it to charge extra. it probably was There were barely any rides. My friend convinced me to go on the ferris wheel looking ride that spins you upside down a ton of times. I'm not into those rides, so I got a bit sick off it. too much spinning and upside downess for me. if you like that sort of thing, then this is one crazy ride! i think it's called kamikaze. The operator was funny, he said,"oh i'll help you." then he just spun us some more haha $1.25 per ticket, most rides are 3-4 tickets. stuff to buy-i didn't see anything interesting except for the Greece paintings with the pretty blues and oranges that made me want to go to greece. I missed the church tour because we had just bought our margaritas :)

3 stars Great fun with super food. They had everything you would expect from a Greek Festival including Gyros, Souvlaki, Kabobs, various lamb dishes, Baklava, Dilpes, Greek beer and "Margaritas" (Yes campers, you read correctly.) They also served Greek coffee - right down to the mixture strong enough for the swizzle stick to stand vertical and hot enough to blister skin! It is in the back parking lot of a Greek Orthodox church which gives the whole thing a very homey feel and very clean. On the other hand, parking stinks. You either park at the local Sears store and they bus you in or park a few blocks away in the neighborhood across the street.

I look forward to the O.C. Greek Festival and St. John's every year. I don't really care about the shopping or dancing. Really, I just go for the food. Once through the gate, I always head for the Loukoumades booth. Such a simple treat, but so good. I generally there with family, so we'll spend some time walking around, possibly shopping a little, or watching some the the dancing. We have no little kids, so we stay away from the game area. As we're about to leave, we stock up on some food. We always visit the Gyro booth, bringing a few home for later. The Gyros are just a little better than average. We then go through the dining hall. We almost always end up getting Moussaka, Pastitsio, Greek Chicken, and Baklava. All of their food is okay. Even mediocre Pastitsio and Baklava have a special place in my heart though. I just enjoy the time with family and Greek food. This year I also tried Feta Fries for the first time. I loved these, so they'll be on my radar henceforth.

The yummiest gyro.

Our theme was "Gala" and it fit just perfect. Very little decor you need because the lights, tables and covers and venue itself was perfect! The staff, however, was more of a 2 out of 5. Security was great, but the event manager Karla was not prepared or available. As soon as she arrived, she said she was leaving to get something to eat, and I couldn't even find her when I needed assistance. She wasn't familiar with the plan discussed with Sebastian and didn't know about several things that had already been arranged, including the fact that there was an area for us to get ready in. Also the bartender which I believe was another owner was not pleasant to some of my guest, very short to some of them (all I serving was wine and beer). Also, there crew was hanging out in front of the venue chatting away, it wasn't professional. For all the extra service fees I would have expected more. I will say Sebastian was 5/5, great customer service and very friendly and helpful! We had submitted a floor plan and setup details ahead of time, but on the day of the event some things were off. Lounge chairs were missing and brought in during the event, and we had to set them up ourselves. A table was missing, she brought it in but didn't have a cover, I couldn't use it. Had to improvise but I made it work. Also, we were able to bring unload things earlier and we were told to place it in a certain area, when we arrived back, it was moved without us being informed. We were scrambling to look for things! When a family member lost his wallet, I texted the event manager Karla and never got a response. I ended up contacting Sebastian directly, and he handled it promptly. I would book this venue again, but I would definitely request different staff. Despite the behind-the-scenes issues, my daughter had a successful and memorable event.

I used this venue for my baby shower last year. September 27th 2025…read more The venue is fantastic. Has a kitchen area where guests can chill and grab food at the same time. Great audio system via TV for guests to enjoy music playlist. There is a patio. Which is a nice bonus. Liked the fact there were two rest rooms for guests! The layout of the venue is fantastic for whatever event you have in mind. This venue is perfect for micro events. Minnie the event manager went above and beyond to ensure my baby shower went well. Especially when my family showed up late to help. She just swopped in and just helped with everything. I was really impressed. Service manger helped me unload everything from my car. Minnie and her team were amazing. They put the T in team work. When booking this venue just let your guests know it's the venue with the yellow roof .

Amazing & beautiful place !! But I would not go through this third person who was assigned to me…read moreagain. (Idk agent or something?) won't say her name. As a business person, I personally feel it was your job to ensure things are handled and ready to go for myself and my vendors to go. (Whether or not the "30 mins" prior to set up was a "courtesy" or not). I was not told the head security was out and a replacement was to be there UNTIL I reached out literally 30 mins before my party start time. I called the person I signed the contract with and she ignored my calls only texting as response. And when told the security was not there NOR inside she proceeded to tell me to check like 3x when I have multiple witnesses SEE him finally WALK UP to the door from OUTSIDE (next door) to unlock the door we needed to enter. & even the night before I was the one whom reached out to see how to go about getting the keys or if someone opening the door cos I didn't know how that worked. Me. I reached out instead of just making me aware - "hey things are good to go for your event someone will meet you tomorrow at this time blah blah" just example. Maybe im being bratty but that was pretty much the only thing that annoyed & stressed me out for my son's FIRST BDAY. Overall poor communication & business on her end. I had to ignore her afterwards to enjoy my party. & a lot of my guest liked this place as well and are considering this space. Again, I WOULD rent this space again. There's a lot to like. I just won't be going through this one person again & maybe book directly through the owner instead or one of his other people under him.

Overdue Review!! Had my goddaughter's Quince back on March 28th 2026 and my family, friends & all…read moreguests were in awe of this venue and still get talks about it to date. With the help of YANEL she made my nieces day come true and gave us sooooo much less to worry about and made the whole planning easy and stress free. She is amazing and I recommend her 1 million times to be your coordinator. Everything went so smooth and not one bump in the road. THANK YOU YANEL! This venue has everything and a great look to it and overall perfect for what we needed, glam rooms, cocktail hour rooms, 250+ guest capacity & of course open bar ;) Thank you to all the staff at The White House Events Center for making this night unforgettable.

I got married here back in March and it was a great experience! We worked with Exy and she was…read moregreat at remaining on top of everything and bringing everything together for our big day. My partner and I were pretty set with their packages as they included a lot that we felt we would need for the day such as early access to the venue the day of, crystal dance floor , day of coordinator, etc, but they were also very accommodating for any outside vendors we wanted to add in with approval. We also love that their bar was "open" in which we just needed to provide the alcohol/ mixes. The space was large, which is what we needed as we expected 300 guests. All our guests loved the food and dessert served and how beautiful the venue itself was! I think the only thing that might have been a minor issue is the parking situation as the white house shares a lot with Adventure City so it was very crowded by the time cocktail hour started. They do have a lot behind the venue with more parking, however they did have to ask our guest to move their cars during the reception from the back lot to the front as the backlot closes at a certain time (and by that time Adventure city was closed so there was space at the front again). Personally, I love how everything turned out and I'm very grateful to Exy and Sarah, the assistant coordinator, and the rest of the White House staff for how well the day went. Everything was beautiful and my partner and I had a blast along with all of our guests. We highly recommend this venue!
