Gyros, falafel, pizza, pasta, and the music of Jason Aldean and Jimmy Buffett are just the start of what is a busy summer week in Syracuse. The St. Elias Orthodox Church Middle Eastern Festival is back for another year.
Food, traditional dancing, contemporary Arabic music are the highlights of the four-day festival. The Inner Harbor is hosting its inaugural Pizza and Pasta Festival on Saturday, with 25 vendors cooking up many Italian favorites. Skaneateles’ annual Curbstone Festival is back with vendors, a book sale, and live entertainment.
