NORFOLK, Va. — The 2019 Greek Festival is Tidewater's oldest and largest ethnic festival!
The festival is filled with traditional Greek cuisine, exciting entertainment, arts and crafts, a cooking school, a drive-thru and delivery through DoorDash!
The festival will be May 16-19. It will be open on Thursday at 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral located at 7220 Granby Street in Norfolk.
Food and music is the highlight of this event. Outdoor stands will sell everything from lamb to baklava. The food will be available for take-out or may be eaten at tables in the outdoor tents.
There will be a variety of Greek specialties for you to enjoy. They will have everything from Greek salad, charcoal-broiled souvlaki, moussaka, chicken lathoregano, pastitsio, dolmades, and Greek-styled french fries. Greek pastries and breads will also be available.
A new addition to this year's festival is that DoorDash will deliver food from the festival. Delivery is limited to the drive-thru menu with different pricing for delivery. They will only deliver in a 5-mile radius of the festival.
The Annunciation Dancers will entertain festival-goers every day and night of the festival performing traditional Greek dances. A live Greek band will also be performing live Greek music throughout the festival.
