KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — One of Knoxville's favorite events is coming up soon!
Greek Fest, in its 40th year, is set for Sept. 27-29, 2019, at St. George Greek Orthodox Church on Kingston Pike.
The three-day festival is full of delicious food, music, dancing, and more!
You can sample a full menu of Greek cuisine from the food vendors, everything from spanakopita to baklava! This year, most booths will accept credit card payments.
You will also have the opportunity to tour the church's beautiful and newly renovated sanctuary, which was just reopened in June after a devastating fire.
