SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2020 NOON-6 P.M. AT ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE ORTHODOX CHURCH IN SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI For the past 12 years, the congregation of St. Thomas the Apostle Orthodox Church has enthusiastically hosted the Greek Festival on the weekend after Labor Day on its parking lot.

There is an Ancient Greek proverb that I just made up that says, The festival must go on and indeed it will!! Saturday, September 12th, from 12 pm to 6pm, we will be having a drive through festival where you can experience Greece right from your car! There will be a limited menu, and the church will be closed. To ensure all guests are safe and stay healthy, it will be a strict to go event. So mark your calendars and prepare your chariots!
