Lebanese Festival

So it seems there is a big enough Lebanese community in Cleveland to have a festival. According to one young woman I spoke with there are three Lebanese Churches in Cuyahoga County, although the festival was hosted by St. Maron's on Carnegie.

I mention where it is as the Festival itself was held at a park owned by St. Sava, which is a Serbian Church located in Parma. 

The food was excellent, we tried a few things I hadn't had before. And I tried somethings that I have had before under a different name and at a different cultural festival. I'm not eating much meat these days so what I could eat was a little limited, but what I had was excellent.

Like how the drink Atka was clearly Greek Ouzo. Their Red Wine was pretty good, but the Lebanese Beer was actually worst than Mythos.

The entertainment was good as well/ I wasn't really sure what the one guy was singing, but he was clearly bringing it with some gusto. The dancers were fun as well.

The same afternoon I wandered down the street to the Polish Festival in Parma. Wow did I expect better, wait til the one on the East Side in the fall. It's about a thousand times better.
