OPA!

DO YOU LOVE GREEK FOOD? ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE CULTURE??



Here locally in Norfolk Virginia The Annunication Greek Orthodox Church Granby Street host their annual Greek Festival http://www.norfolkgreekfestival.com/. This festival has been going on for years. The surrounding areas build with anticipation with the excitement that this festival brings to the area. People from miles around come to enjoy the culture, food, artifacts, and atmosphere of this event. Being a local that is faithful to going, I have had first hand experience.

The festival is free to the public along with free parking. This festival attracts many people and is typically held from thursday to sat. They offer a variety of things, but most of all hospitality is at the top of their list. The Big tents, lines, smells of food, sounds of music, and appeal of a gathering are amazing. Here at the festival you don't have to be Greek to feel the love of the culture. If you don't have time to stop, get out, and enjoy the festival; for your convenience they have a drive thru line, where you can order and pick up your favorite tasty treats.

Drive-Thru for your pleasure
