St. George parish, sponsor of the Annual Middle Eastern Festival of Indianapolis, was founded by Orthodox Christian immigrants from Syria and Lebanon who settled in central Indiana in the early 1900s. While our parish has grown and now includes members of all backgrounds, it is in honor of our founders that we maintain their Middle Eastern spirit of generous hospitality and offer the Middle Eastern Festival to the greater Indianapolis community to help promote peace and understanding for ALL, starting here in our own city.
