33rd Annual Middle Eastern Food Festival

Smell the aromas from the outdoor grills, partake of Kibbeh, Shish Kebob, Roast Lamb, Falafel, Hummus, Tabouleh, and Stuffed Grape Leaves, along with a wide selection of other regional dishes.  Be sure to save room for dessert and coffee.  Some of the mouth-watering Arabic pastries include Baklawa, Maamoul, Namoura and Ghraybeh.  There also is Atayef, a pancake-like dessert stuffed with a delicious pistachio mixture and rose-water syrup.

Once you’ve satisfied your appetite, visit the vendors, take a guided tour of the church, or engage in a game of backgammon or chess.   Children also can find plenty to do in the dedicated kids’ zone, which includes a petting zoo, two moon bounces, 18-foot slide, face painting and a variety of games.
