The 15th annual St. George Middle Eastern Festival will return to West St. Paul this weekend for a cultural celebration featuring food, dancing, live Arabic music and camel rides.

The event will be from noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday at the St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church.

“It’s more of all the same fun we’ve had at the last 14 festivals,” founding chair Anthony Rezcallah said.

The St. George Dance Troupe and Lebanese singer John Khoury will perform at the event. Middle Eastern cuisine, such as falafel and kebab wraps, will be served. There will be a bake sale, a silent auction and a children’s tent with games and activities.

The event is free. Visitors can park in front of the church at 1250 Oakdale Ave. in West St. Paul.
