ROANOKE, Va. – A beloved 17-year Roanoke tradition is serving up a new twist this year, as the Roanoke Greek Festival presents a drive-thru experience kicking off Friday, Sept. 26, at 10:30 a.m. at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.
“It’s bittersweet, but we’re going to surprise everyone. I hope everyone will come out. We’re still offering the same food, and we’re offering Greek wines to go. Where can you go through a drive-through and get Greek wine to go?” said Chairman Pete Simopoulos.
The drive-thru format features two service lanes and will maintain a festive atmosphere with Greek music playing throughout the event.
This year’s menu includes a special addition: gyros and Greek fries, items never offered before.
You can still expect those favorites you like, such as pastichio, moussaka, and baklava.
The festival has become a regional attraction, drawing visitors from as far as Pennsylvania.
The drive-thru runs for three days:
-
Friday, Sept. 26: 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
-
Saturday, Sept. 27: 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
-
Sunday, Sept. 28: 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
