Pop Star Evangelia Turns Up NJ Greek Fest Excitement

WESTFIELD — Greek-American pop star Evangelia, whose music blends modern pop with Greek sounds, returns to her Garden State roots for a live performance at the Saturday “Big Night Out” event at this year’s NJ Greek Fest, hosted by Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.

A variety of ticket options are available for the performance, including standing front stage single tickets, as well as high-top and front-row tables, both of the latter including food and drink. Tickets are selling fast, so secure your spot now for an unforgettable evening highlighting the Eurovision Song Contest finalist.

In addition to featuring the energetic sounds of Evangelia, NJ Greek Fest also will offer mouthwatering Greek cuisine, an array of kids’ activities, tours of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, live performances of Greek dance and music, and a range of Greek-themed arts, crafts, jewelry and souvenirs.

No stranger to the Garden State, Evangelia Psarakis shared time growing up both on her grandmother’s small farm on the island of Crete and her parents’house in New Jersey. She completed her teacher training course at Rutgers Graduate School of Education in 2015, and, before graduating, performed as a singer at New York City clubs.

After working as a teacher for three years, she decided to devote herself entirely to her music career. Evangelia competed in the 2025 Greek national final for the Eurovision Song Contest, with the song “Vale,” which finished in second place. The song was featured in Evangelia’s debut solo album,“Pepromeno,” released in June 2025.

She competed in the Greek national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 with the song “Parea,” which finished in fourth place.

Engaged to American songwriter and producer Jay Stolar, Evangelia supports the Philo4Thought Inc. Hellenic Mentoring Initiative.

Tickets to the one-night-only performance are selling fast, so secure your spot now for an unforgettable event.

To reserve your spots now, visit www.NJGreekFest.com or call 917620-9809. Join Evangelia and Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church on May 30 in celebrating Greek culture, heritage and community spirit.
