Ethiopia Fest Chicago 2017 is organized by the Ethiopian Community Association of Chicago (ECAC), a non-profit, charitable organization committed to serving Ethiopian refugees. They’re ready to immerse audiences in authentic Ethiopian cuisine, live Ethiopian music, and dancing from different tribes. This year, the festival takes place at St. Andrew’s Greek Orthodox Church on Saturday Sept. 9.

Global Citizen, Nari Safavi, talks with Seble Ayalew and Samira Abderahman, board members of ECAC. Safavi will also introduce us to some other global events to check out this weekend.
