You may be unfamiliar with the Arabic word “souk” meaning market or bazaar. This Saturday, Spokane hosts its very own souk, bringing the tastes, smells and sounds of the Middle East to residents of the Inland Northwest. Featuring a variety of food and grocery vendors, artists, and artisans selling their goods, music, performances, and lots of baklava, the souk provides a way for locals to get to know the region’s diverse Middle Eastern community over a shared love for delicious food and good music. Whether you’re a dancer, eater or just want to learn, make sure you go to souk!
