Just like the Lebanese Festival, guests will be directed through a drive-thru, where they will be expected to remain in their cars as volunteers either take their carryout order or retrieve the food already pre-ordered on the festival’s website. Customers can pre-order by visiting thelebanesefestival.com or stiparish.org.
