Richmond Greek Festival to return for 48th year with food, dancing

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — All roads lead to Rome, but there's one "Rhode" that will soon lead to Greece: Malvern Avenue.

The 48th annual Richmond Greek Festival is returning next month to Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Malvern Avenue. From May 28 through May 31, attendees can enjoy food, dancing and music throughout the four-day festival.

Guests will have the chance to tour the cathedral's beautiful sanctuary and learn more about the Orthodox religion. They can also browse through art, jewelry and amazing finds at the annual celebration.
