Belly dancers and clothes draped outside vendors booths sparkled in the sun Saturday, July 18, during the 22nd Annual Mediterranean Fantasy Festival weekend at Hiawatha Park.

The event is co-sponsored by the Babylonian Ensemble, the Hiawatha Advisory Council and Seattle Parks and Recreation.

Dancers use stage names like "Zeheera," "Mohini Moon," "Shabibah" and 7-year-old "Butterfly," who earned a loud applause following her two solo dances.

Dozens of dancers and more than 70 vendors participated.

There is still time to attend, as the event runs 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
