Two for One Festival WEEKEND!

Richmond's Big Fat Greek Festival!

It is that most wonderful time of the year known as Greek Festival time! In addition to celebrating the 38th year of stuffing our faces with Mousakka, Spanakopita, Souvlaki and Galaktoboureko, this Sunday is a newer Richmond favorite, Broad Appetit. These are two of our very favorite festivals... we are so excited, we can barely sit still!

Greek Festival is a staple for us and holds many fond memories. Like the time we walked there in the rain, or the time we had a bottle of chilled red wine waiting in line for food and then another with our food. Or the time Heather dropped her gyro on the first bite and was gifted a fresh one (that she manged to fully consume). Or that time we ate in Kate and her hubby's yard because they lived two blocks away and we saw a double rainbow. Or that time we went for both lunch and dinner all weekend or that time.....well you get the point-we have had some fun at the Greek Festival!

The Greek Festival runs Thursday - Sunday at Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral. If you plan on attending during typical meal hours, be prepared to wait in line. But it will be worth it!

Broad Appetit is a completely different experience but it is a delightfully yummy festive event. It's such a great opportunity to try that new restaurant, or that not so new one you've always wanted to try! With over 50 restaurants participating and just $3 per small plate, it's easy to find your new favorite. This one day event is on Sunday, June 2, from 11-6. Plan on coming early for this one, as the best goodies sell out fast!

We will be full and happy this weekend!

Oh, and if that's not enough, don't forget Friday Cheers,  the dozen or so Farmer's Markets, and Bel Biv Devoe will be at the Stone Soul Music and Food Festival at RIR. (Did I just put "That girl is poisoooooon!" in your head? You are so welcome!)

Opa! Happy Festivaling!

Cheers,
