This year marks the 75th anniversary of the St. Elias Mediterranean Festival, put on every year in downtown Austin by St. Elias Greek Orthodox Church.  The block is closed off to traffic, and for two nights every October, there is Mediterranean food, booths, singing, and dancing, both professional and amateur. 

Traditionally the 2nd weekend in October, this year it will be held on October 5th & 6th, the first weekend, so if you marked your calendar last year, be sure to change it. 

This is one of those Austin traditions you must experience, and if you go once, you'll surely go again.  If you haven't been, try it this year - you won't be sorry!

Looks like a fun festival.  Dancing and music are so good for the soul.  Love that picture.  At first I thought you meant the dancer was 75, so I'm thinking, old age can't be all bad!

Well, bellydancing IS good at keeping you young!  And whether that particular dancer is 75 or not, old age really isn't all bad! 

I've expanded my palate at the St. Elias Greek Festival, danced to groups I hadn't heard of with other bellydancers I hadn't met before, found treasures at the vendor booths, and generally had a wonderful time, with my kids when they were young and without.  I highly recommend it, and it is part of keeping Austin weird!
