    at Oceania Street and the Horace Harding Expressway in Bayside,
    celebrated its annual Oceania Street Festival in observation of the
    Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on September 10.

    Hundreds of people, mostly of Armenian descent, feasted on Middle
    Eastern food that included chicken kebabs, salads, a variety of pita
    breads, baklava, coffee, imported teas, wine and beer.

    A band provided musical entertainment with ethnic dance performances
    and modern musical selections.

    Children~Rs rides, games and festival foods were located at the
    far end of Oceania Street. Youngsters enjoyed slides, a rock wall,
    a bouncy house, cotton candy, ice cream and a ring toss.

    Dozens of vendors sold Armenian themed novelties and gifts, including
    books, music, movies and jewelry.

    Admission to the festival was free and, unlike last year~Rs downpour,
    festivalgoers were thankful that the weather held out.
