It's Mediterranean Festival This Weekend
Rain or shine, the annual St. Elias Mediterranean Festival is kicking off this weekend.
The festival, now in its 80th year, promises Mediterranean delights from Lebanon, Palestine, Greece, Eritrea and Romania. According to the festival, “Gyros, Kibbee, Baklava, Spanakopita and Mici are only the beginning as you feast outdoors on delicacies from the Orthodox world.”
Along with a feast of foods, the festival will offer shopping in a festival marketplace, dance demonstrations and children’s activities at the Kid’s Oasis. Music and live dancing will be provided by Laand Greek Ensemble.
The festival will run Friday 6 to 11 p.m. and Saturday 12 to 11 p.m. at Saint Elias Orthodox Church, 408 East 11th Street. More info can be found at mediterraneanfestival.org and on Twitter.
