Maronite Cathedral Hosts 6th Annual ‘Celebrate the Flavors of Lebanon’
Last year, Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Cathedral’s annual Lebanese Festival hosted well over ten thousand visitors from all cultures and areas in a five state region. This weekend marks the sixth annual “Celebrate The Flavors of Lebanon” festival, offering exquisite Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine, with the Cathedral parishioners cooking many of the entrees and other goodies. Featured are tabbouleh, kibbeh, manoushi breads, a wide array of delectable treats and desserts.
Cuisine is only one part of the Lebanese Festival, though. Fairgoers can listen to Middle Eastern music and marvel at the Cathedral’s folkloric dance troupe. Don’t be surprised if they bring you to your feet. Middle Eastern hospitality often includes the invitation to dance!
