We lived in Long Beach,CA in an area with many Greek families and 3 Greek restaurants. We miss those restaurants - nothing we have found in Roanoke compares. We are sooooo looking forward to this event.
Cindy Boggs OF Botetourt County, VA
My family loves the Greek Food Festival and looks forward to attending every year!
Joan Gertz of Lynchburg, VA
I so appreciate the signage that was put on roads and streets in the Lynchburg area. The festival was something I had wanted to attend but did not know when or where it was being held. Witout the signs on the roadways and streets, etc. I would have missed the event. I enjoyed the food, dancing nd crafts - everything was great and look forward to attending next year. You need more signs in the Lynchburg, Rustburg and Campbell County area in general.
