Arab World Fest

Also wrapping up its run today is Arab World Fest, a non-politicized, non-religious cultural celebration at the Summerfest grounds. Gorge on shish kebab and baba ghanoush while learning about Middle Eastern cultures; witness the national Lebanese dance, the dabka; hear the ancient stringed instrument called the oud; get a henna tattoo; and shop for treasures at the souk, a traditional Arabian marketplace.
