Debra Pulos, public relations coordinator for the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church fundraiser, said the effort has been a big hit. The drive-through concept took on even greater meaning last year, when severe weather forced festival organizers to adopt a "drive-through" festival concept for much of the weekend.
The 61st annual festival opens at 11 a.m. Friday, Sept. 6, at the church at 500 Belmonte Park N., Dayton.
WHAT YOU CAN GET
The drive-up option includes pastitsio, moussaka, Greek pizza, tsoureki, dolmades, gyro sandwiches and so many delicious desserts.

Save for lamb shanks, Pulos said most items sold at the festival will be sold as part of the Friday pre-order, lunch carry-out service.
The menu items and pickup times (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) can be selected via the Dayton Greek Festival website. Click here to place order using a credit card. Orders must be paid for in advance online.
Prices range from $8 for a gyro, pastitsio and moussaka to $15 for a large pastry variety box. View the full menu here.

The full menu will be available inside the festival. Prices inside the festival are slightly less than for the carryout menu.
Carryout orders must be placed by 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 6.
When placing your order, you will choose a pickup time. A designated pull off lane will be marked in the front of the church. A table will be marked “Carry Out Pick-up.”
