Glendi International Food Festival is Santa Rosa’s premier ethnic food and dance event. Each year patrons are invited to enjoy fresh and authentic cuisine from Russia, Romania, the Middle East, the Balkans, Greece, Eritrean, Italian and American cultures.

The entertainment schedule includes live music by Edessa on both days, dance troupes, dance lessons, and acapella choirs. Stroll through the gardens or take a church tour that explains the meaning behind the structure and iconography of an Orthodox Church and highlights the timeless frescoes that adorn the interior.

We feature Sonoma County wines and micro-brew beers in addition to coffee in many styles, excellent teas, soft drinks and frozen treats. This year, we are expanding to include a German themed Biergarten, away from the activity of the dance area, offering snacks and beers from a single local brewery.

Glendi is all about fun and family! In addition to the food, dancing, and tours they have a children’s area with entertaining activities both days, as well as cultural crafts, bookstore, henna painting and drawings for door prizes throughout the day.
