Epiphany Celebrations in Tarpon Springs
Held on January 6th, this event in Tarpon Springs celebrates the Epiphany with one of the largest Greek Orthodox observances in the United States, rooted in the town’s Greek immigrant heritage. The highlight is the cross dive, where young men dive into Spring Bayou to retrieve a cross thrown by the priest, believed to bring good luck. The day includes church services, a procession, and traditional Greek food and music.
