With a 70% chance of rain and a high wind warning today and a 30-60% chance over the weekend, festival organizers have stressed their willingness to ensure Knoxville’s annual tradition remains a fun experience.

“For now we are ready to carry on like any other day with no intention of changing anything. We expect the weather to improve,” Theodora McCullough told Knox News on Sept. 27.

Founded in 1977, the Knoxville Greek Fest attracts more than 20,000 visitors each year and is known for its celebration of Greek culture, food and music. The festival will take place Sept. 27-29 at St. George Greek Orthodox Church, 4070 Kingston Pike.
