Guests at this year’s St. Symeon Food and Culture Fair will see a church interior completely filled with large murals as the church reveals its newly painted interior at the fair on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9-3. The fair, now in its 5th year, will continue to offer baked goods, gifts, and hot food items such as Greek donuts and homemade pierogi, as well as church tours, a choir concert, and a lecture about sacred art in the Byzantine Christian tradition.

“We’re excited to be adding a new booth this year,” said event chairperson Niki May. “The Middle Eastern Market will feature homemade hummus as well as a variety of Middle Eastern and Ethiopian foods,” she added. The other market booths will return, including The Slavic Tea Room,The Balkan Bakery, Cafe Europa, and Southern Sweets and Savories. A separate booth will offer Slavic tea from a samovar, Ethiopian coffee, and, new for this year, kompot, a traditional Slavic fruit drink.
