We are excited and honored to celebrate our annual entertaining and educational Mediterranean Festival at Saint Elias Orthodox Church. The two-day festival reflects the diverse aspects of the Mediterranean culture, such as traditional Arabic music, authentic food and Turkish coffee, flavored hookah, beautiful henna, a fashion show and more, it’s bound to be a fulfilling time for all. Individuals with diverse nationalities within the Mediterranean region are involved in the festival for you to experience a little part of many different cultures. 

Start your day at the Church meeting with Fr. George Shawareb, who will explain the history of the Orthodox Church, then gather at the St. Elias Park to enjoy fun activities and indulge in good food. We welcome all ages and cultures alike to experience our diverse atmosphere of music, food, and activities to make you go, WOW! 

You have a chance to win different items and the grand prize of a $1000 Amazon gift card using purchased raffle tickets at the entrance. You can also participate in multiple fun competing activities such as a basketball game, volleyball game, ping pong game, and devouring watermelon. Kids can enjoy the bouncing castles and the water sprayed at them from a fire truck.

Vendors are welcome to open a booth and expose their business to a more diverse crowd. Please contact for more information. 

Our mission is to spread the love and respect for diverse cultures among people while enjoying the food, music, and fun activities.
