Lebanese Heritage Festival

The Annual Lebanese Festival will be held Sunday, September 14th at Saint Ann Maronite Church in West Scranton. Celebrating many decades of Lebanese culture, the festival features delicious cuisine such as tabbouleh, hummus, grape leaves, spinach pies, kibbeh, pastries and other Lebanese cuisine.

The event will run Sunday from noon to 7 p.m. Call (570) 344-2129. 

The festival brings together generations of parishioners and community members to connect and learn more about the rich heritage of Lebanese culture in Scranton, which originated more than 100 years ago when a large group of Lebanese families settled in the area in 1903. “Preparing for the festival is a lot of hard work, but there’s still time for fun and laughter,” says Reverend Anton Youssef (Father Tony). “We all come together for this occasion.”
