RICHMOND, Va - Kitsa Panos and George Panos walked us through the steps on creating Yahni, Rice Pilaf and a tasty Dressing to drizzle on a Greek salad. These traditional items are just a few that will be featured when the 40th Annual Greek Food Festival comes to town. Experience the very best of Greek culture with food, Greek wine and beer, dancing, art, jewelry, and more. Part of the proceeds will be donated to local charities that specifically serve central Virginia. The Greek Festival is Thursday, May 28th through Sunday, May 31st at Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral, located at 30 Malvern Avenue.
