St. Symeon Food and Culture Fair 2023

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.

The St. Symeon Food and Culture Fair has been an annual event (except for 2020) since 2018.

“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.
