Ask Austin Mediterranean festival this weekend

Hey everyone, just recommending everyone to come to the med fest fri-sun at st. Elias Orthodox Church to enjoy traditional food and drinks, and I wanted to shout out the Eritrean booth since I want people to especially try that. Thanks in advance if you come by!

Got dragged to this last year and the Eritrean coffee ceremony was the highlight of my weekend. Might actually go back voluntarily this time.

Yes it is toddler friendly, there is a bounce house, face painting and little games where they could win prizes, and a gelato booth that kids and adults enjoy. I see many kids every year. Although I do admit some of the kids get rowdy
