WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — An annual Greek food festival is back in Luzerne County. Annunciation Greek Orthodox church on East Ross Street in Wilkes-Barre is serving up traditional Greek favorites, from baklava to gyros.

The festival offers both eat-in and take-out options, along with pre-orders by phone.

Mother’s Day Greek Pastry trays are also for sale. All proceeds support the church and its programs.

 Calling it a career after 135 years 

“A lot of handwork is involved in all of this. We start months ahead, trying to freeze food. It’s a long, drawn-out process for us; it’s a labor of love,” Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church Parishioner Theresa Karambelas said.

Residents were able to stop by on Wednesday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
