About Our Festival

Our St. Rafka Church Summer Festival will be returning again this summer for three days! Our Summer Festival showcases the best of our church community and the beautiful aspects of Middle-Eastern and American culture in a fun atmosphere the whole family can enjoy. Join us August 7th-9th for music, dancing, great food and drinks, children's activities and more!

Making a Difference

A portion of our festival proceeds support our St. Rafka Church Scholarship Program. This scholarship is awarded to graduating high school seniors in our parish who exhibit a commitment to learning, active participation in church activities, and service to others in the surrounding community. Our youth programs encourage youth to volunteer at organizations such as The Hope Clinic, SnackPax, Foster Closets & Social Service Organizations, Food Pantries, and at Senior Centers throughout the area. This scholarship helps to turn their Christian service into more opportunities for education and is offered on an annual basis to assist with tuition and/or textbooks. We thank you in advance for your support!

All Day Activities

Enjoy delicious Middle Eastern & American food, premium bar, Lebanese & American music, bounce houses (Saturday & Sunday), carnival games, henna tattoos (Saturday & Sunday), face painting (Saturday & Sunday), hookah lounge, raffles, gift shop and much more!
