Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church is opening its second annual Greek Street Pastry and Market just for this weekend. WFIR’s Denise Allen Membreno has more.
Organizers are hoping the community will stop in and stroll through the Greek Street Pastry and Market, taking time to enjoy great coffee and Greek sweets this Saturday and Sunday.
One of the organizers, Maria Apostolou says this is another way they can share their culture with the Roanoke Valley.
“You can come in and enjoy some coffee and start your holiday shopping early by coming to our agora, which is the Greek word for marketplace, where you can find all of your favorite, you know, Greek imported goods.”
Unlike the Greek Festival Big Fat Greek Drive through there is no ordering online the goal is to slow down and enjoy the experience in person. Organizers say proceeds from the Greek Street Pastry and Market will go to nonprofits supporting area veterans. Denise Allen Membreno WFIR News.
