(UPDATED 3/8/2021) Description of Greek-To-Go, an opportunity to enjoy an authentic Greek take-out meal from the Sacramento Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church.
The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, sponsor of the Annual Sacramento Greek Festival, has had to pivot as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 festival was cancelled, but in the meantime the church is offering Greek-To-Go.

To Sum Up
I have ordered my meal and am really looking forward to what is sure to be a taste treat! I always enjoy the Greek Festival, and I was thrilled when the Festival moved back to East Sacramento.
Finally, I have saved the best for last! The 2021 event is scheduled for the first weekend in October. Cross-your-fingers and mark your calendar!

Update
(3/8/2021) Several friends and I took advantage of the beautiful day on Saturday to sit outside and enjoy our Greek repast. It was great to have a socially distanced (of course) visit and catch up with each other. The meal did not disappoint! See photo above.
